Multimedia materials consist of items made up of more than one type of material. These include books or serials in conjunction with software such as, CD-ROM and DVD products, microfiche, microfilms, audio tapes, video tapes, and LP discs, as well as various combinations of nonbook materials.
Most of this material is not tattletaped directly, although the accompanying print material would be. CDs, CD-ROMs and DVDs are not tattletaped. If they come in separate jewel cases then the jewel case is tattletaped with special CD round, transparent tattletape. CDs, CD-ROMs and DVDs in back of books remain as they are as the book is tattletaped.
Videos cases are tattletaped with a strip placed at the bottom inside of the case.

The different types of material are kept together on the shelves. They are catalogued with one copy statement and one barcode. The material should be tied together with the white cord used for Special Collections items. If the destination library wishes to use some kind of container, they can decide to do so once they receive the material.

The backup disks may be placed in the pocket of the book or serial. If no pocket comes with the item, then a special plastic self-adhesive pocket is inserted in the back of the book to contain the disks.
The original disks should be placed in a separate envelope, such as a microfiche envelope.

Each piece in the set should receive a call number label.
No labels are needed for the copy of the computer disks or CD-ROMS if they are inserted in the book. However, you should add a label to any material that is housed separately, such as the master copy of the computer disk.
Material such as computer disks, which have a separate container (e.g. an envelope) should have title information typed on tabulabels, and placed on the container. The label should be placed on the upper left corner and include the following information:
[LOCATION] COPY Surname, First Name. Title of book. |
The call number label is then placed in the left bottom corner.
In the case of a computer disk, add a copyright label in the bottom right corner.
If the set includes computer disk(s), video tapes(s) or audio tape(s) than a label should be added that says DO NOT DESENSITIZE. This label should be prominently placed. If the book is the most obvious part of the set, then place the label on the cover of the book. (CD-ROMs do not require these labels).
Labels should not be placed directly on computer disks, CD-ROMs etc. as they can come off in the equipment. Instead, the labels should be placed on the container (e.g. the pocket containing the computer disks).

Education books may be accompanied by software. The books should be processed as usual. However, do nothing with the software; just send the material to the Education Library.
