<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Are you interested in notes that will display for library users in the public catalog, or notes for staff that only appear in the ILS?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We add a public note to the item record for items that have tested positive for arsenic, which displays in the public catalog beneath the item’s location and availability: “Requires
<a href="https://www.lib.uchicago.edu/about/directory/departments/pres/arsenic/">
special handling</a>; item contains arsenic.” The hyperlink goes to a page on the library’s website with more detailed handling instructions:
<a href="https://www.lib.uchicago.edu/about/directory/departments/pres/arsenic/">
https://www.lib.uchicago.edu/about/directory/departments/pres/arsenic/</a>. Here’s an example from our catalog:
<a href="http://pi.lib.uchicago.edu/1001/cat/bib/2950626">http://pi.lib.uchicago.edu/1001/cat/bib/2950626</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We also add a staff-only note to the item record with details of the what/when of testing by preservation staff. Example: “Green binding tested with XRF, 2023: contains copper acetoarsenite.” We likewise add
a staff-only note to the item record if a book tested negative for arsenic (e.g, “Green binding tested with XRF, 2023: does not contain arsenic”).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
