Serials Call Number Decisions
(See also: Classification / Shelflisting
Policy)
- When cataloging a title change with continuous numbering*
and the earlier title's call number is LC, use the same call number
on the new title (see also 2).
- When cataloging a title change with continuous numbering*
and the earlier title's call number is an LC call number that includes
an internal "x", drop the internal "x" when assigning the new call number.
- When cataloging a title change with continuous numbering*
and the earlier title's call number is Richardson, assign an LC call
number to the new title.
- When cataloging a title change with continuous numbering*
and we do not have the earlier title, you should use the LC call number
from the earlier title, if available.
- When cataloging the earlier title of a continuation (with continuous
numbering*) and the library has the later title cuttered
for that later title, use the same cutter when cataloging the earlier
title.
- When cataloging a title change that begins with a new sequence of
numbering**, assign a new LC call number whether or
not the previous title was classified in Richardson or LC. If the previous
title had an LC call number, the new LC call number assigned should
preferably be close to the old LC call number.
- If a title splits into parts, each part will get a new LC call number,
whether or not the previous title was classified in Richardson or LC.
The new call numbers assigned should preferably be close to the old
LC call number.
- If separate titles unite to form a new title, the new title will
get a new LC call number.
- In a title change situation, when a new title changes from an oversize
to regular size or vice versa, drop or add the oversize designation
when assigning the new call number.
- For a microfilm or microfiche serial title change, keep the same
accession number for the new title.
- A serial supplement to a serial will often get the same LC call number
as the serial + the word "Suppl." (e.g. Journal of biosocial research
and Journal of biosocial research. Supplement). If the serial supplement
has a totally different title, however, it is usually classified for
its content.
- No dates are added to serial call numbers.
- When adding a copy for another location (AC) to a serial with a Richardson
call number, assign an LC call number for the added copy.
- When adding a copy for another location (AC) to a serial with an
LC call number that included an internal "x", do not include the internal
"x" when assigning the call number for the AC.
- When adding a copy for the same location (ACX), use the same call
number as the first copy, whether Richardson or LC.
- Not all serials are assigned call numbers; e.g. Brief cataloging.
*Continuous numbering is taken to include also serials
with date only as an adding element. It also includes cases where either
the numerical or chronological designation is dropped or added with the
new title as long as it does not start over with vol./no. 1.
**"new series", "second series", etc. are usually NOT
considered to be a new sequence of numbering.
