 ==== Miscellaneous Problems ====
 ♦Make sure call numbers match library location code assigned.  If may occasionally be necessary to change the location in the holdings record or add or delete a location from a call number label.
-♦Books without call number lables are particularly likely to have a mismatch between the book and the record.  You may want to type in the title rather than wanding in the barcode for books without labels, in order to find out if the books is a duplicate to one already in the collection.  A wrong title may be the result of the title being changed at the last minute before publication, or of the wrong record being assigned by Promptcat.

 ♦Books with call number labels sometimes arrive with a minimal bibliographic record.  It's a good idea to check for duplicate titles by doing a title search when this happens.

 ♦Look out for possible reference books sent on approval and not coded with a Reference location.
+♦Books with an Order Group of "History" noted in their order record need to have that edited to include selector.  The receiver consults the "Selector Responsibilities by LC Classification" list to determine which history selector is associated with the call number on the book in hand, and selects from the drop down menu in the order record on that basis.
