- Format:
- Description:
- Combines and updates the old Subject Cataloging Manual: Classification and Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting in one convenient volume. This has been done as a service to catalogers because classification and shelflisting are such closely related processes.
The new publication provides guidelines for establishing Library of Congress classification numbers and assigning them to library materials, as well as for shelflisting materials collected by the Library of Congress. It\'s an accumulation of guidelines that have been formulated over several decades dealing with commonly recurring questions that arise when using LC classification.
In one volume, the manual combines and updates the guidelines for formulating the classification portion of the LC call number, formerly published separately as the Subject Cataloging Manual: Classification, and guidelines for formulating the unique book number portion of the call number, formerly published separately as the Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting. - Pagination:
