== General Information &amp; Policies  ==

=== '''Structure of number'''<br>  ===

*First cutter letter is always preceded by a period whether it's in $a or $b. A second cutter letter is not preceded by period (except for certain map numbers in schedule G)
<blockquote>Example: '''''$a S6a6.I4 $b V34 1999'''''</blockquote>
*If there is only one cutter number, it goes in $b
<blockquote>Example: '''''$a QA403 $b .K75 2000'''''</blockquote>
*Generally, do not end a main entry cutter with 1, 2, or 3 because these are reserved for:
<blockquote>♦ Translations ('''.x1X''') </blockquote> <blockquote>
:Example: ''$a PQ2246 $b .E4'''13 '''1962'' (English translation of French work
</blockquote> <blockquote>
♦ Supplements, indexes, abridgements ('''.x2''')
</blockquote> <blockquote>
:Example: ''$a P59.M53 $b F7'''2 '''1999'' (an addendum to a work)
</blockquote> <blockquote>
♦ Criticism ('''.x3X''')
</blockquote> <blockquote>
:Example: ''$a PR4034.P7'''3''' $b R78 1982'' ([criticism of book with call number PR4034.P7)
</blockquote>
*Work numbers: For certain items, add additional letters after date:
**'''a''' for photocopy '''b''', '''c''', '''d''', etc. for identical book with same date, different publisher
**'''p''' for proof copy
**'''z''' for unknown date (e.g., 1900'''z''' if 260 $c [19--?])
*Dates
**If item has multiple dates, use first date as call number date
**Conferences: use date of conference in heading as call number date
**Classed-together series: use no date in call number
*Miscellaneous
**To cutter for a title that begins with numerals expressed as digits ('''30 years of ...,''' etc.), use .A12-19 range
**If altering an 050 LC call number, change tag to 090

'''Bibliographies'''

*Class by subject, not in schedule Z (rarely use Z higher than Z1000)
*If class number includes a cutter, add '''Z9 '''plus additional digits for main entry (e.g., DS645.U6 Z965)
*If class number does not include a cutter, add '''.A1 '''and second cutter for main entry (e.g., DS644.A1 K59)
*'''PZ'''&nbsp;: Use only for children's books purchased with Teacher Ed funds. Otherwise, use author's literature number instead. <br>

'''Materials for which LC classification is not used'''

*College archives, Abernethy collection
*Arabic collection: use local class system
*Islamic law: Use'''KBL''' [2 spaces] $b [main entry cutter] [date] <br>
