Classification

Videorecordings get a sequential accession number like microforms. Videocassettes are preceded by VCASS; DVD’s are preceded by DVD (e.g. DVD 2215).

To find the next available number search in Voyager by Browse / Call number, using the Locations Filter for your location. It helps to have a rough idea of the next available number so that the browse function drops you fairly near that point; looking in the shelflist before searching is also a good idea. Once you find the next available number, put a card in the shelflist. Do this for all locations except VIDL and MUS.

NOTE: videorecordings going to recap are simply assigned the call number VCASS or DVD as appropriate without any numbering.
