 * BASICS OF THE MALLET COLLECTION**

If anyone gets a question about the Mallet Collection, s/he should direct the patron to Liz (or Mary, if Liz is not around).

Here are some notes about the Collection:
 * The collection is non-circulating, and no item may be photocopied for any reason.
 * Liz is continuing Mary's work on cataloging the entire collection. The process is on-going.
 * Many titles are already in the online catalog. You can find an item by searching:
 * By title/author/keyword, etc.
 * By entering the phrase “mallet collection” as an added keyword.
 * To view all items in the collection, search for the phrase “mallet collection” alone.
 * There are an up-to-date card catalog and a shelf list that came over with the collection. You can search the card catalog by title and author, but not subject heading.
 * The collection is classified using the Dewey Decimal System. This makes it easy to identify an item as part of Mallet and not part of the regular circulating collection.
 * **//If you find an item with a Dewey number (on a shelf or a truck), please do not reshelve it!//** Please leave the item, along with a note about where it was found, on Liz’s desk. (Liz is tracking usage statistics.)
 * The most interesting and/or “rarest” items are locked up in the cabinets in the Director’s office. To indicate this, the card catalog cards show “D.O.” and the OPAC record shows “Shelved in Director’s office.” Mary, Liz, Joan, and Doris Ann have keys.
 * We did not receive any of the unpublished material (e.g., maps, correspondence) from the U.S.J.B. We have the monograph and serial collections.
