Module 1: Processing U.S. Documents

Introduction: Shelflists

Depository libraries must maintain piece level holding records for ALL depository publications  
Records must identify each specific piece as received (e.g. each issue of a quarterly publication)
A shelflist, in either paper or electronic format, is the preferred holdings record
Mark all depository materials to distinguish them from non-depository materials
All materials must be dated with either the shipping list date or the date of processing
