+ | * MSExcel also limits the number of numbers that can be displayed correctly in a cell. You may see numbers stored as, for example, 9.6E+10 or 3.1E+26. These can be converted to numbers, however some may not convert correctly. 3.1E+26 converts to 310190058185431000000000000 when in reality it is 310190058185431019005818722. You can check the tabular view for any of these.\\ | ||
* If a barcode is scanned incorrectly when creating a precat, the item will remain on a patron record when the actual item is returned. A common mis-scanning is extra spaces before or after the number. Catalogers should refer any suspicious barcode found on the report for an overdue or lost item to circulation staff for resolution. Then the precat should be sent back to cataloging for bibliographic resolution, once it has been removed from the patron record.\\ | * If a barcode is scanned incorrectly when creating a precat, the item will remain on a patron record when the actual item is returned.
