Practice

1. Go to your Launch Page and log into LS2 Cataloguing. Use the same login you use for LS2 Staff (mrpm\firstname_lastname).

2. When you have new resources to add to your database, add them to your Title Space by scanning in the ISBNs, as described in the first video.

3. Review the instructions in the videos as you progress through the process of adding each of your resources.

Workflow Note

There are two workflow options for adding resources. Choose the one that best meets your needs:

Workflow Option 1: (1) Add items we have in our MRPM database using the method demonstrated in Session 3. (2) As you come across items that we do NOT have in our MRPM database, put those books aside. (3) Then use the Title Spaces method demonstrated in this Session 4 to add resources that we do NOT have in our MRPM database.

Workflow Option 2: (1) Add all new resources to your Title Space (as per the instructions in the Video #1 above). (2) Follow the instructions in the videos above to add all resources through your Title Space.
