Initiate a Cataloging Recall for a Library Item

Instructions, Steps, or Information

Cataloging Recall work orders in Alma are used when a campus library wants to send a library item back to Cataloging at Digital Resources and Collection Management.  Typically, this is done if the book needs any corrections to processing or cataloging.   Processing time for a Cataloging Recall can vary. Let the Cataloger know if you need the item back quickly. 

  1. With the item in hand, scan it into the Alma Repository search. 

  1. From the Item list, identify the item you want to put into Recall. 

  1. From the “More actions” menu, choose “Work Order.” 

  1. From the “Process Type” drop-down, choose “Cataloging Recall.” 

  1. Check the box “Do not pick from shelf” because the item is in hand. 

  1. Write a note about why the item is being put into Recall or any other important information. 

  1. Keep the “Managing Department” at Cataloging. 

  1. Click “Submit” in the upper right. 

  1. Put the item in the mail, address it to the Cataloger for your campus, and send it to DRCM in NDSC on Northeast Campus.
