Books from Other Sources

Books from Other Sources

 

  • Selection guidelines and criteria apply to books procured from other sources, including Scholastic Book Fairs and donations! 

    • Consult professional reviews to ensure compliance with BCPS Selection Criteria before adding books from Book Fairs or donated books to your collection. Books must have 2 positive reviews, be age-appropriate, and current for Dewey area.

    • Please do not accept damaged or worn books for donation. 

 

 

  • Follett and Bound to Stay Bound are the only vendors who have our cataloging and processing specifications on file.  Be sure to indicate that you DO want cataloging and processing when ordering from those vendors.
    • Please use these approved vendors for purchasing books and eBooks for your collection. 

 

 

  • If you have procured appropriate materials from other sources (e.g. Scholastic Book Fairs), and these books have not been processed (spine labels, barcodes, Destiny records), please use the T-REQ Smartsheet (for boxes) or an interoffice envelope (for individual books) to send these to Donna Gruzs at the Media Processing Center, Jefferson Bldg 4th Floor. Please note the directions in the Media Processing Center Guide.

 

Procedures for sending materials to the Media Processing Center for processing:

 

  1. Email Donna Gruzs informing her that you have materials that need processing and need to be placed on the waitlist. This applies to inter-office envelopes and boxes of books.

  2. When you receive an email indicating it is your turn to send in books for processing, complete the T-Req Smartsheet. Make sure that your boxes or inter-office envelopes have a note inside indicating your school name. If it is only a few books and you are sending them in an inter-office envelope you do not need to fill out the T-Req Smartsheet.

 

NoteWe will not process materials that are worn, visibly used, or do not meet our selection criteria
