Best Sellers

• Most likely the best sellers are from Barnes & Noble. Your supervisor will have an analytics sheet inserted into each book. The information that is needed to type on the card will be highlighted. The receipt will be found in one of the books. These books can be found next to the typewriter.
• Insert an order card into the typewriter, using the silver platen to hold it in place. A sample of an order card will be found at the end.
• The top row will have the following information typed, the OCLC number and the ISBN. If the OCLC number has DLC on the analytics sheet, please type an asterisk (*) at the end of the number.
• The next area to type is the author and title. Type the author's name as follows; last name, first name. This will be typed one line beneath the word “author”. The title will be typed on the Title line, but begin typing two letters over underneath the author's name.
Example: Hoskin, George Clarence
The iron horse


• Also, the title's first letter will be in upper case, but the rest will be in lower case unless it is a Name or God.
• The next area to type includes Edition, Place, Publisher, and Date. Edition is rarely found with best sellers, but keep an eye out for it. If 1st edition is mention, ignore it. The following punctuations will be used—a colon (:) is used after Place, and a (,) comma after Publisher. States, press, and university are a few that may be abbreviated.
Example: Riverside, CA: La Sierra Univ. Pr., 2012


• Type the following information in the next row: page numbers, and no. copies. The page number should like the following: 400 p.
• Type in B. Seller in the Requestor box in the next row. Leave date requested blank. Note: There have been a few times where the book is not a best seller. You will be notified what to type in the Requestor box.

• Using the receipt and a pen, write in the list and net price. The list price is the amount before the discount. Also, write in today's date.
• When done with all bestsellers, pile them together and put the receipt inside the book that's at the top of the stack. Place books on top of Kitty's desk.
