Module 1: Processing U.S. Documents

Introduction: Shelflists (continued)

The date identifies depository material eligible for discarding five years after receipt
 

[Discarding will be covered in Module TWO]

Each shipment should be completely processed within 10 working days
Any publication missing from a shipment should be claimed as soon as possible
 

[Claiming procedures will follow later in this module]

Practice Question:

Which format is preferrable for a shelflist of received documents?
Index cards
 Ledger
Electronic Database
None (the shipping list suffices)

For further thought:

Why must depository materials be dated?
