Create custom call number

  • Determine sublocation
  • Consult chart below
  • Insert custom call number in the 099 field
  • C-tag the 099 and y-tag any other call numbers present in the record

Biographies

Biographies involve some extra steps. This is necessary because of the case-by-case approach needed for biographies of individuals known only by one name or an honorific, as well as collective biographies. See more details here: [link to come]

  • For any biography, email Elizabeth Webster after cataloging is complete.
  • Elizabeth will confirm name or term usage in the 099

    For any biography, catalogers will need to distinguish between individual and collective biographies to determine the call number. Contact Elizabeth Webster with any questions.


    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

    Add series note, GFT, & Sierra bib location

    • Series note = 830 #0  MSU Children's & YA Literature Collection. $5 MiEM
    • Potential GFT to apply include:
      • 655_7 Picture books. $2 lcgft
      • 655_7 Poetry. $2 lcgft
      • 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)
