Locations for Call Numbers

 

This section will demonstrate how to assign locations by call number.

 

The location codes for item records are listed here:Item Location Codes All items going to the general stacks are assigned a location by the first letter in their call number.

For instance, in the following example:

HV 5840 .M42 C5826 2010 - H is the letter by which the call number would be assigned.

There are two exception to the first letter rule: TR and TT, which are not assigned along with all of the call number starting with “T”. They are pulled out specifically for the Art Collection.

Examples:

TR 6 .G72 L664 2000

TT 23 .C743 2013
