Abstract
Physical processing consists of four components: circulation requirements, location markings, property markings, and security devices. This paper reviews the marking practices for circulating books from libraries responding to a survey posted to AutoCat and OCLC-Cat email lists.
The minimum physical processing tasks identified are as follows: one barcode placed on the front cover; institution name stamped in ink on the title page and at least one edge of the book; one spine label covered with a label protector; one self-adhesive date due slip affixed to the inside back cover; and a security device inserted in the book.
Responses are summarized and tabulated.
