Lehman Library


General Collections

Lehman Library has transfered collections to ReCAP since July 2007.  Collections include mainly printed monographs published since 1990.  All phases of transfer involve dumb barcodes.  It has one CLIO location assigned for off-site collections:

  • off,docs : general collection of circulating monographs and serials (circ)
  • off,leh : general collection of circulating monographs and serials (circ)
  • off,les : special collection of non-circulating serials (noncirc)

Lehman Library collections correspond to a single customer code:

  • CU : allow delivery to all CUL and ReCAP partner libraries

Stop code LE is used for delivery to Lehman Circulation Desk.

On the annual (estimated) ReCAP quotas, Lehman is typically allocated [10,000] items.

Other notes

Language and place of publication are of high interest to selectors.  Produced individualized reports of usage rates by language and high-use titles.  Selectors select titles for several campus locations.  Role encompasses campus-wide collections.

Selectors had interest in distinguishing campus requests from ILL/BD.  Less likely to have digital surrogate because of language.
