Relabelling Books
Call number labels will need to be replaced for different reasons. The label could be torn, written on, faded, missing, or the font may be too small.
We Only relabel SMU items. Never relabel an item belonging to another institution.
If you come across a book that needs a new label, it can be placed on the ‘Repairs’ shelf at the Circulation desk. First, you must change the item’s status in Aleph. The status is then automatically changed in the OPAC to inform patrons seeking the item that it has been set aside.
If the item is needed immediately, inform the staff member in charge of repairs. Often when an item only needs a new label, it will be given to the patron straight away and relabelled when it is returned.
