Cataloging & Metadata Department Local Documentation
This section
includes the most current versions available of our local documentation,
which we have been developing in-house over a number of years. Since the
documents often need continual updating, not all of our most recent policies
and procedures will necessarily be reflected in each of them. Keep
checking for new and revised documents.
ALL PROCEDURES ARE UNDER REVIEW FOR USE IN ALMA
