For Dewey numbers:
Many copy records already include a Dewey number in the 082
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
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)
