Item Price Field

All Minerva Libraries must enter the publisher’s full suggested retail price (rounded up or exact) in an item record’s price field. This price can be obtained from the item itself or from other sources such as the publisher’s own price list/online catalog and Amazon.com. The Cataloging Standards Committee recognizes that retail prices on some titles can vary depending on packaging, performance rights, etc. This policy only affects item records created after the approved date of this policy. Item records created before this date are exempt from this policy.
