SERVICES: Cataloging Center Orphan Materials
The Illinois Heartland Library System's Cataloging Center
in Champaign receives
items with no property stamp or identifying mark on them.
There are three ways in which an "orphaned"
item may be claimed:
1.
Your library owns the item
If
your library is the OWNING library
of any "orphan" materials, your library can
claim the item.
If
any "orphan" item has not been requested
by the owning library and an Online LINC library
has not claimed it for free 120
days after posting, then an item is
available to ANY LINC library
for free.
