Warning

For books being cataloged as part of the 2020-2021 reclassification project, the 099 should be y-tagged (a global update will be made when reclass/relabel/reshelve efforts are complete). See details here: Children's literature reclass

For Dewey numbers:

  • Many copy records already include a Dewey number in the 082
  • Otherwise, use the OCLC Classification service: http://classify.oclc.org/
  • Numbers should not expand beyond 2 digits after the decimal (just delete any extra digits)
  • Forward any issues to Autumn

    • 655_7 Graphic novels. $2 lcgft
    • 655_7 Biographies. $2 lcgft
Info

Subject headings may often be coded 650 #1 or 650 #7 for special vocabularies.​ All subject headings (except ones that look obviously incorrect) are ok to accept, even if they look repetitive or appear in Spanish. 


  • After export:
    • add mnjuv as an additional location in the bib record in Sierra
    • although 5-letter codes are not usually used in bib records, one is used for this collection because it facilitates a scoped search in the public catalog; thus, the bib should contain both mn and mnjuv in its location field (per Dao, 2018)
