I
carefully read all instructions and called 1-800-226-0085 (or emailed
sunlink) if there was something I did not understand. And I did this
more than 24 hours before the deadline!
If
I have no Adds to report because all are coming from vendors, I have mailed
or faxed (1-866-873-0721 (FL only) or 407-384-2077) the Adds cover sheet
to SUNLINK showing Zero (0) Adds.
If
I have no Deletes to report this year, I have mailed or faxed (1-866-873-0721
(FL only) or 407-384-2077) the Deletes cover sheet to SUNLINK showing Zero
(0) Deletes.
If
I sent musty old shelflist cards for Deletes, I bundled them neatly with
rubber bands. You mean someone actually will be touching these? Yuck!
If
I used an Adds bibliography or a MARC download list for Adds, I checked
to be sure our call number is written next to each title. I don’t want
anything returned to me for corrections!
If
I used a Deletes bibliography, I checked to be sure my school is the only
school listed for each title.
I
did not send anything printed in a font size that will require use of a
magnifying glass!
If
I used a Workform for either Adds or Deletes, I checked for handwriting
legibility, and completeness of information. You mean someone actually has
to READ this stuff??
All
Adds or Deletes are clearly labeled which are which so that the harried
SUNLINK staffer who opens my package won’t have to call me and ask!
Cover
sheets, completely filled out, are included in the package(s).
The
envelope or box used is sturdy and/or reinforced with tape so that nothing
gets torn or lost in the mail. I don’t want to get a call saying my
envelope arrived torn and empty!!
If
I have more than one package, each is labeled (1
of 2, 2 of 2), so my complete batch can be reassembled at the SUNLINK office
by that exhausted staffer who deals with these from thousands of schools!
I
am mailing my Adds and Deletes to SUNLINK as soon as they are ready and
not waiting until the very last day before the January 31st deadline. Mailmen
deserve a break, too!
