1. Each item will be retrieved from the location labeled "new donations". Place a note card inside and use it to make a brief note or two and indicate whether or not you approve it, then sign and date it. Return the item to the location labeled "first review".
2. After an item has been reviewed once, another committee member will retrieve it from the "first review" location and follow the same process; add a note if necessary, approve or disapprove it then sign and date the note card. Place the item in the "second review" location. Follow this process until either three or five committee members have reviewed the item, based on the selection guidelines, moving each item along through the "third review" and, if necessary, the "fourth review" locations.
3. If the item is approved, the last reviewer should place it in the location marked "Approved". If it is not approved, the last reviewer should place the item in the location marked "Not Approved". If there is disagreement among the committee members, the last reviewer should place the item in the location marked "Pastor review". Father Joe or Father Ken will make the final decision as stated in the guidelines.
4. If the item is part of a previously approved set or a publication that has been previously approved, it does not need to be reviewed.
