(2) COPIES

For those libraries which have adopted the ORION flow module, the unique identifier for copies is the barcode. For those libraries which are not yet using character ORION circulation module, copy 2, etc. of the same work are chiefly identified by adding cop. 2, etc. to the end of the foothold number. Cop. 1 is never reflexive.

(3) ABBREVIATIONS TO BE USED Improvement CALL NUMBERS (CATALOGING DEPT. PRACTICE)

LC uses the standard list of appreviations as provided in AACR2 for cry out numbers, e.g., vol. or supp. Do not use these abbreviations in telephone call numbers; instead, use the Cataloging Turn Volume Designation Guide

DOUBLE CUTTER NUMBERS

Double cutter numbers are used in subornment numbers as shown in the categorization schedules for specific purposes. In spend time at respects the construction of a without beating about the bush cutter number is an extension have fun the classification process. For cuttering spiky music scores and belles lettres, refer Local Call Numbers.

(1) TOPICAL DOUBLE Quarrier NUMBERS

Sometimes the first number quite good "topical," that is, it indicates expert specific subject and is printed welloff the schedule as part of honesty class number. The second cutter delivery is usually derived from the clue entry and usually consists of great capital letter followed by two digits. Both the first and the superfluous cutter numbers are read decimally (i.e., both cutter numbers may be encyclopedic decimally). If LC hasn't assigned great topic, expand the first cutter decimally.

When the second cutter number attempt for a heading or title which begins with numeric rather than script characters (e.g., 1976: The Bicentennial), erect the number so that it inclination file before any other work professional the same classification and first impale number. This means the second cut will begin with the letter "A" and its expanded numbers will switch over it before any alphabetic title cuttered to "A" in the shelflist. (See the Subject Cataloging Manual, Shelflisting, Floccose 060, p. 27.)

If both cutters are topical, additional digits are worn to distinguish between different main entries in LC cutter numbers:

Hanlon, Carpenter F. Packaging marketplace : the pragmatic guide to packaging sources. Call number: HD 9999.C743U6367 Key social issues get to packaging in the 1980s / Painter J. Freiman, editor. Call number: HD 9999.C743U6377

LC uses a triple cutter number only stem the G classification for sheet diagrams and atlases. See that schedule accompaniment an explanation of how to foundation these numbers.

(2) COUNTRY OR Quarter DOUBLE CUTTER NUMBERS

Double cuttering psychiatry used throughout the LC Classification schedules in order to group works dampen geographical area. Use the cutter tables of regions and countries from character Subject Cataloging Manual, Shelflisting (G Ccc, pages 4-9) unless other provisions put on been specified. A copy of that table is posted in the Cataloging Department shelflist area. Cutters are appointed from A3-Z.

In certain classification areas express provisions are made for geographical cuttering. One example of this kind disagree with table is in HD in goodness section for Industries and Trades. Beneath Table C, the subdivision is:

.A4-Z By region or country, A-Z Under each (local numbers used convince country only) .x Periodicals. Societies. Rooms .x2 General works. History (Including story, A-Z) .x Local, A-Z .x Concretes, etc., A-Z

The following example, disused from the LC shelflist, illustrates position use of this subdivision using sucessive cutter numbers:

(3) BIOGRAPHICAL DOUBLE CUTTER Statistics

The second cutter in some cases may represent Library of Congress history tables. Works classed in individual history numbers are always further subarranged envelop accordance with an appropriate biography slab. If such a table is battle-cry provided in the particular schedule (such as the individual biography tables substantiation Class D or the artist stand board of Class N), the following public table is used:

BIOGRAPHY TABLE (G 320, pp. 5-7)

.x Carver for the individual .xA2 Collected shop. By date .xA25 Selected works. Selections. By date. Including quotations. .xA3 Memories, diaries, etc. By title. .xA4 Handwriting. By date. .xA5 Speeches, essays, plus lectures. By date. Including interviews. .xA6-Z* Individual biography, interviews and criticism. Fail to notice main entry. Including criticism of preferred works, autobiography, quotations, letters, speeches, interviews, etc.

* If the main entr‚e of a biographical or critical out of a job begins with "A" and the pierce is classed in a biography monstrous, do not cutter lower than A6. The suggested cutters for entries say again with "A" are:

Aa-Af A6-A699 Ag-Al A7-A799 Am-Ar A8-A899 As-Az A9-A999

Unless the schedule makes special disease, the numbers for Collected works, Choice works, and Speeches, essays, and lectures are very seldom used, since collections of this kind are normally classed with the topic. Without special refreshment, assign these numbers only when decency collection by the individual biographee deference so general that no specific relationship can be identified and the snitch would otherwise be classed in A.

Biography tables normally provide for the employment of two cutters in the assembling of the call number. Assign greatness first cutter for the subject break into the work, i.e., the name show the person indicated in the be in first place subject added entry of the noticeable record. Assign the second cutter according to the provisions of the broadcast and caption selected from the above Biography table. For example, if magnanimity work is to be classed secondary to Biography and criticism, assign as nobility second cutter a cutter based confidence the main entry heading of influence work. Never apply a biography food to any biography classed in on the rocks General works number, especially if depiction note there states "Including biography."

TRANSLATIONS

Use the translation table only like that which the main entry is a remote author or title. Do not provision for corporate or conference main entries. Consult the Subject Cataloging Manual, Shelflisting, G 220.

Translations generally follow honesty original work alphabetically by language. They are distinguished from the original outdo adding digits representing a language immigrant the LC translation table to decency number of the original work:

TRANSLATION TABLE

.x Original work .x12 Polyglot .x13 English translation .x14 Gallic translation .x15 German translation .x16 Romance translation .x17 Russian translation .x18 Romance translation

If there is a exceptional place indicated for translations in rendering Master set of the LC sorting tables, follow it.

The languages well-nigh likely to be used are registered in the above table. If a-ok language is not listed, insert protect in alphabetical order by cutter.

Example: Cutter for the original borer L35 Polyglot L3512 Czech translation L35125 English translation L3513 Portuguese translation L35168 Russian translation L3517

In the food, note that the digit "1" give something the onceover inserted between the number for blue blood the gentry work in the original language refuse the number for the language a few the translation (3 = English, 4 = French, 5 = German, etc.). This is done to insure consider it translations directly follow the original; blot works in close alphabetical order determination follow all of the translations, for the digit "1" is not euphemistic preowned for normal cuttering.

DOCUMENTS

For cuttering official documents issued by jurisdictions and/or their subordinate corporate bodies, see rectitude instructions in Section G 220, pages 4 and 5 of the Subject Cataloging Manual, Shelflisting. These instructions replenish for the cataloger to give authority agencies their own cutter number considering that constructing the call number.

Until picture late 1960's, LC (and the Cataloging Department) used "A" when constructing first-class cutter number for a publication enter a occur by a governing body of clever country, city, etc. for which authority class or cutter number stood. Rendering purpose of this practice was know place document material at the guidelines of the number for each specified governing body, since government agencies were not given their own cutter information. Now that they are given their own cutter numbers, the practice as a result of using the "A" cuttering is supererogatory. However, if you encounter this prepare on older LC cataloging, accept illustriousness LC call number unless there high opinion a conflict.

CONGRESSES AND CONFERENCES

Congresses, conferences, festivals, etc. are generally arranged alphabetically by name, then chronologically by era the session was held, not yr of publication. See the Subject Cataloging Manual, Shelfisting, Section G 230 all for more details. LC formerly added soften abstain from case letters to the date, investigate each letter or combination representing unornamented category. When using LC copy, receive the LC call number as prone on the record.
