Description
Summary:	The article relates the problems and challenges encountered when Colorado State University Libraries (CSUL) began receiving and processing Marcive Shipping List Service (SLS) records; describes the associated procedures, work flows, and quality control measures; and provides an analysis of SLS. Based on CSUL's experience, it is strongly suggested that quality control be given a high priority to ensure that problems resulting from the integration of SLS with Marcive US Government Printing Office (GPO) cataloging and any in-house records are identified and resolved at the point of receipt. Having new titles immediately available online through multiple access points and with the correct location and format is an invaluable service for library users.
