Type tickets for all items in the shipment.

Record the number of volumes in this shipment on the binding shipment log.

Fill in Product Code sheet for bindery by circling the product type, and description, write in the shipment lot number and the date of the shipment. Fill in the number of items being sent.

Check out each book on Voyager using wand. Make sure that each charge registers.

When check-out is completed, check that the number of books charged to this shipment slip matches what you have marked. If not, recharge until you find the missed item or count number of items on truck.

Prepare box labels. Fill in shipment lot number, product type code.

Place shipment slip (in shipment number order) in monograph/paperback or periodical box of outstanding shipment file.

Box books and label each with prepared label. Put product code paper in last box of the shipment and label that box as number 1. Then number the rest of the boxes in the shipment, and add the number of items in the shipment to each label.
