Genre and Sublocations

  • I've attached a few genre docs to help with updating your processing specs
  • You can identify the genres you want to have in your libraries
    • Send the completed Genre Order Form information to me and I can add genre to your Titlewave accounts!
    • Genre will then be added to your MARC records' sublocation for easy searching via your LMS
  • Once you weed, you can apply genre sublocations to your entire collection
    • We can also send you a Genre Helper Report to assist in genrefication!
