Manual Maintenance Policy and Procedures

Policy: In order to ensure currency and relevancy of information presented in this wiki Manual, a regular maintenance schedule must be followed.

Procedures:

At the beginning of each school year, the librarian should identify any cataloging resources (AACR2, Sears, etc.) that have released revisions or new editions, and make changes to the manual to reflect these new editions.
During the school year, the librarian should refer to the manual anytime cataloging is being done (but at least bi-monthly) to ensure that policies and procedures are being followed.
During the school year, in the case of inaccurate or out-dated policies, possible changes to the manual should be noted in the discussion section of the appropriate page in the wiki.
At the end of the school year, each section of the manual should be evaluated to ensure that it is still current and applicable to the library’s mission and goals. At this time, all comments in the discussion sections of the wiki should be re-evaluated and made permanent in the manual, along with any other changes or additions deemed necessary.
