OCLC Online Computer Library Center Broad outline § Part 1. Elements of typical call numbers § Part 2. Class numbers § Part 3. Book numbers and other methods of subarrangement

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Part 1. Elements of typical call numbers § Call number = class number + book number (or other method of alphabetic subarrangement) § Example: § 641. 5972 §. B 3433

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Call number § A set of letters, numerals or other symbols (in combination or alone) used by a library to identify a specific copy of a work. A call number consists of the class number and book number (or Cutter number). § It may also contain other data such as date, volume number, copy number and location symbol.

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Class number § Notation that designates the class to which a given item belongs. § Example: 641. 5972 Cooking characteristic of Mexico § Used for Rick Bayless's Mexican kitchen : capturing the vibrant flavors of a worldclass cuisine

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Book number § The part of a call number that distinguishes a specific item from other items within the same class number, also called a Cutter number. A book number is composed of letters from the author's name and numbers. § Example: . B 3433 for Bayless, Rick § From OCLC Cutter Four-Figure Table

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Other method of alphabetic subarrangement § Instead of formal book numbers, many libraries prefer simple methods of alphabetic subarrangement § Example: Bay for Bayless, Rick

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Part 2. Class numbers § Broad classification and logical abridgment § Building with tables (numbered auxiliary tables) § Building with add tables § Building with other add notes

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Broad classification § The classification of works in broad categories by logical abridgment, even when more specific numbers are available, e. g. , the use of 641. 5 Cooking instead of 641. 5972 Mexican cooking for a cookbook of Mexican recipes.

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Logical abridgment § The abridged number is the same as the full number, but shorter § The number is abridged at a logical place

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Abridged edition § A shortened version of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system that is a logical truncation of the notational and structural hierarchy of the corresponding full edition on which it is based. The abridged edition is intended for general collections of 20, 000 titles or less.

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Segmentation marks (/ or ‘) § Records from Library of Congress and Library and Archives Canada include segmentation marks in Dewey class numbers § These marks show end of abridged number § The slash (/) appears in MARC records § The prime mark (‘) appears in Cataloging in Publication printed in books

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Example of segmentation § 641. 5/6314 § The abridged number (641. 5) means cooking § The full number (641. 56314) means cooking for people with diabetes § Never include segmentation marks in call numbers

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Building with tables (numbered auxiliary tables) § Numbers from auxiliary tables are never used alone for shelf arrangement § They may, however, be used alone in a database for resource discovery § Today we won’t be able to cover all six auxiliary tables; we will cover the following tables:

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Tables to be covered today § Table 2. Geographic Areas, Historical Periods, Persons § Table 1. Standard Subdivisions § Table 3 A. Subdivisions for Works by or about Individual Authors § Table 3 B. Subdivisions for Works by or about More than One Author § Table 5. Ethnic and National Groups

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Table 2. Geographic Areas, Historical Periods, Persons § The following numbers are never used alone, but may be used as required (either directly when so noted or through the interposition of notation T 1— 09 from Table 1) with any number from the schedules, e. g. , wages (331. 29) in Japan (T 2— 52 in this table): 331. 2952 ; railroad transportation (385) in Brazil (T 2— 81 in this table): 385. 0981

OCLC Online Computer Library Center 641. 593 -641. 599 Cooking characteristic of specific continents, countries, localities Add to base number 641. 59 notation T 2— 3 T 2— 9 from Table 2 , e. g. , Southern cooking (United States) 641. 5975 T 2— 75 Southeastern United States (South Atlantic states) Class here southern states 641. 59+[T 2—]75=641. 5975

OCLC Online Computer Library Center 641. 59+[T 2—]436=641. 59436 (etc. ) § 641. 59436 Austrian cooking § 641. 5943613 Cooking of Vienna § 641. 5944 French cooking § 641. 59442 Cooking of Normandy § 641. 59449 Cooking of Provence

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Facet § Any of the various categories into which a given class may be divided, e. g. , division of the class "people" into the categories of ethnicity, age, education and language spoken. Each category contains terms based on a single characteristic of division, e. g. , children, adolescents and adults are characteristics of division of the "ages" category.

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Facet indicator § A digit used to introduce notation representing a characteristic of the subject. For example, "0" is often used as a facet indicator to introduce standard subdivision concepts.

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Rule for logical abridgment § Never abridge a number so as to leave a “ 0” or other facet indicator at the end, in the part following the decimal point § Dewey numbers may end with “ 0” before the decimal point § Examples: 630 is O. K. § 630. 90 is not O. K. § 630. 9 is O. K.

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Table 1. Standard Subdivisions § The following notation is never used alone, but may be used as required with any regular schedule number, e. g. , workbooks (T 1— 076 in this table) in arithmetic (513): 513. 076. When adding to a number from the schedules, always insert a decimal point between the third and fourth digits of the complete number

OCLC Online Computer Library Center T 1— 09 Historical, geographic, persons treatment § T 1— 092 Persons Biography, autobiography, description and critical appraisal of work, diaries. . . Class here treatment of individuals § T 1— 093 -T 1— 099 Treatment by specific continents, countries, localities; extraterrestrial worlds

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Table 5. Ethnic and National Groups The following numbers are never used alone, but may be used as required (either directly when so noted or through the interposition of notation T 1— 089 from Table 1) with any number from the schedules, e. g. , civil and political rights ( 323. 11 ) of Navajo Indians ( T 5— 9726 in this table): 323. 119726 ; ceramic arts ( 738 ) of Jews ( T 5— 924 in this table): 738. 089924. They may also be used when so noted with numbers from other tables, e. g. , notation T 2— 174 from Table 2

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Table 5. Ethnic and National Groups (2) Except where instructed otherwise, and unless it is redundant, add 0 to the number from this table and to the result add notation T 2— 1 or T 2— 3 -T 2— 9 from Table 2 for area in which a group is or was located, e. g. , Germans in Brazil T 5— 31081 , but Germans in Germany T 5— 31 ; Jews in Germany or Jews from Germany T 5— 924043

OCLC Online Computer Library Center “ 1” as facet indicator § In the add table at 592 -599, “ 1” introduces the facet: General topics of natural history of animals § Never abridge a number built using this add table with the facet indicator “ 1” at the end of the number after the decimal point § “ 1” is also used as facet indicator elsewhere in life sciences (570 -590) and in music (780)

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Part 3. Book numbers and other methods of subarrangement § All methods of subarrangement are optional and not part of DDC proper § Many different methods of subarrangement are used in Dewey libraries § In a very few places in the DDC there are instructions for subarrangement—but they are optional

OCLC Online Computer Library Center Arrange alphabetically § Rare instruction in DDC § Always optional § 006. 74 Markup languages Arrange alphabetically by name of language, e. g. , XML § 006. 74 §. X 6
