Local Yale practice

Default Yale practice for editions and translations:

• It is not required to adjust call numbers in cataloging copy (LC or member) to keep editions and translations together
• It is not required to keep editions and translations together when assigning new call numbers to original or member records; however, note that RDA/LC practice now requires a 240 field in some situations (see below G 145 item 2.)
• Belletristic author cutters should be consistent with local or LC cutters, but it is not required to adjust book numbers to keep editions and translations together

Of course, if the call number for the earlier edition or original language is readily available, then by all means keep the works/expressions together on the (virtual) shelf. There are some situations where it would be prudent to keep editions together to avoid confusion. See the Pauline Kael examples in section 10 and the Sharks examples in section 11.

Exception: if the item is part of a larger classed-together set, such as an author's works or a monographic series, or, more rarely, a "bound-with," the set or bound-with number must be assigned.

Optionally, assignment of original call numbers and call numbers for member copy lacking call numbers can be based on LC Shelflisting practice from CSM: Classification and Shelflisting (in Cataloger's Desktop). Note that CSM has been revised to be consistent with RDA.  A summary of LC practice follows:

Editions

From CMS G 145 :

"1. Editions with the same author and title. If subsequent editions of the same work have the same author, title, and classification number, assign the same Cutter as the previous edition(s). Add a date to the call number to make a distinction between editions."

"2. [NEW]  Editions with the author and/or title variations. If subsequent editions of a work have a change in the author and/or title but have the same classification number, apply the following principles:

a. Editions with author variations. Assign the same Cutter as previous edition(s) if there is an edition statement and/or a preferred title linking the new edition to the previous one. 

b. Editions with title variations. When a new edition has different title, assign the same Cutter as the previous edition(s).  There should be a preferred title to link the editions. 

Main entry:  Monson, Craig.

Title/date:  Disembodied voices ... 1995

Call number: ML3033.8.B65 $b M66 1995

Main entry: Monson, Craig.

Preferred title [i.e., 240 10] Disembodied voices

Title [i.e., 245]/date: Divas in the convent ... 2012

c. Change in author and title without a clear indication that the work is an edition. If a resource does not include an edition statement or a preferred title that links the earlier and current editions, treat it as a separate work. Do not shelflist as an edition."

"3. Changes in descriptive cataloging code. If the entry of a work changes from the pre-RDA edition, but the classification number remains the same, Cutter the new edition from the new form of entry."  

Translations. (CSM Shelflisting G 150)

"Distinguish translations from the original work by using the Cutter of the original work modified by the application of the Translation Table."

For details on the use of translation numbers and the LC Translation table, as well as local workflow decisions, see Section 9. below.

If both class number and cutter(s) are the same, then the order is determined by the date. If a call number lacks a date, the call number without the date precedes the first call number with a date.

Note that:

• call numbers for serials and classed together monographic series are never assigned dates
• call numbers for classed together multipart monographs are assigned the date of the earliest volume in hand at the time of cataloging (for copy cataloging, use the date supplied in the call number if it is earlier than the date of the earliest volume in hand at the time of cataloging)
• if the main entry is a conference with a date subfield, the call number date should match the date of the conference, not the date of publication (if the conference is not the main entry, the call number should match the date of publication)
• generally follow SCM Shelflisting G140 in relating the call number date to the imprint date. However, follow local practice for capitalization (see 5. Workletters following).

Date	Call number date
1976?	use 1976
ca. 1976	use 1976
1981, c1980	use 1981
1971, c1972	use 1972
1979 [i.e. 1978]	use 1978
1962 or 1963	use 1962
1969 (1973 printing)	1969
1980 printing, c1957	use 1957
1979 [distributed 1980]	use 1979
1979-1981	use 1979
between 1977 and 1980	use 1977
1978/79 [i.e. 1978 or 1979]	use 1978
1977 (cover 1978)	use 1978
197-?	use 1970z [if corporate body use 1970]
19--	use 1900z [if corporate body use 1900]
19--?	use 1900z [if corporate body use 1900]

• Less common situations where a date is not used:

◦ After the designations Suppl and Index. However, the edition to which the volume is the supplement or call number may have a date, in which case the date of the edition will precede the designation:

.C67 1977
.C67 1977 Suppl.
.C67 1977 Suppl. 2

◦ Loose-leaf materials
◦ Legal publications where the final cutter is selected from a span based on dates
 

5. Work Letters. For different editions published in the same year, assign a work letter B-Y after the date. (The work letter A is reserved locally for photocopies; Z for incomplete dates).

• Work letters transcribed in 050 _4 are lower case.
• However, for MFHD call numbers, follow the local practice, which may vary by cataloging unit. (SML practice is to capitalize the work letter; Divinity does not capitalize)
• If source copy uses a work letter but no other edition is represented in the file being shelflisted, delete the work letter in the MFHD call number. (Exception: the work letter does not have to be deleted if the source copy is 050 00)
• If variant edition cataloging is created from LC source copy and the variant edition is published in the same year, and Yale does not have the edition cataloged by LC, use the 050 00 call number without a work letter.

6. Photocopies. (Local practice) Photocopies always have a date in the call number; the date is always followed by capital A, e.g. 1893A. The call number date of a photocopy is always the original date of publication, not the date of publication of the photocopy edition. A book originally published by Princeton University Press in 1954 and reprinted as a photocopy by University Microfilms in 1984 would have the call number date 1954A.

For added copies, current practice is to create a separate bibliographic record for the photocopy if the bibliographic record for the first copy is for the original and the copy to be added to the collection is a photocopy. All subsequent photocopies should be recorded as MFHDs linked to the bibliographic record for the photocopy. LC call numbers for copies linked to the photocopy record should have A following the date.

Former practice permitted adding of photocopy MFHDs to a record for the original if the added copy was for the same location. In that case, the date in the call number did not get an A.

Photocopies are generally issued "on-demand" primarily by UMI/Proquest or prepared locally by Yale Preservation. Do not confuse photocopy numbers with call numbers for reprint editions, where a different publisher reissues a set of copies using the same typeface as the original, often including a reproduction of the title page. Reprint edition call numbers take the date of publication (without A), not the date of the original. Rule of thumb: for photocopies, the actual publisher is identified in the 533 field and the original publisher is identified in the 260 field; for reprint editions, the actual publisher is identified in the 260 field and the original publisher is identified in a 500 or 534 field.

7. When cutters need to be assigned or adjusted, follow the LC Cutter Table. For many years SML used its own cutter table which was slightly out of synch with the LC table. This has sometimes resulted in difficulties integrating new call numbers from LC and member copy into the YUL file. As a PCC contributing library whose call numbers will be used by other libraries' shared cataloging units, it makes sense to follow what is generally recognized as standard practice here. The LC cutter table is in SCM: Shelflisting (it can also be accessed directly through a link on the Cataloger's Desktop Infobase list), and on the Cataloging at Yale web page/Tools & Resources at:

http://web.library.yale.edu/cataloging/lc-cutter-table

LC CUTTER TABLE
(1)	After initial vowels for the second letter:		B	D	L-M	N	P	R	S-T	U-Y
	use number		2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
(2)	After initial letter S for the second letter:		A	CH	E	H-I	M-P	T	U	W-Z
	use number:		2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
(3)	After initial letters Qu for the second letter:		A	E	I	O	R	T	Y
	use number:		3	4	5	6	7	8	9
	For initial letters Qa-Qt use:		2-29
(4)	After other initial consonants for the second letter:		A	E	I	O	R	U	Y
	use number:		3	4	5	6	7	8	9
(5)	For expansion for the letter:		A-D	E-H	I-L	M-O	P-S	T-Y	W-Z
	use number:		3	4	5	6	7	8	9

To apply the table: Select the row that applies to the first letter of the word used for cuttering

• A single letter at the head of a column implies a range of letters up to the next column, e.g. if column 2 is "d" and column 3 is "l-m", use column 2 for any letter d through k
• For the second digit (and any subsequent digits), use row 5
• When the book number is cuttered to a title beginning with a numeral, the range A12-A19 is assigned (see 18f below)
• What you see is what you cutter; ignore diacritics. Cutter "Mc" as MC not MAC; cutter ö as O, not OE, and so on. If there is a large file arranged according to the earlier card filing rules where, e.g. MC was cuttered as MAC, start a new file. CAUTION: there are some exceptions. See18d. below.

Examples:

Vowels		S		Q		Consonant
Idaho	.I33	Sadron	.S23	Qiao	.Q27	Campbell	.C36
Inman	.I56	Schreiber	.S37	Quade	.Q33	Ceccaldi	.C43
Ipswich	.I67	Stinson	.S75	Qutub	.Q88	Cryer	.C79

8. WIGGLE ROOM. It is standard shelflisting practice not to use a 0 or 1 as the last digit of a cutter number. If the last digit is 0 or 1, cutter numbers that need to be inserted before the number ending in 0/1 may become very extended, and as a result a situation is created in an area of the file making it easier to misread the number and misshelve the book. The YUL file is of a size that certain basic strategies should be performed routinely to avoid 0/1 situations:

• Avoid using single digits when assigning cutters. (Regrettably, LC continues to use single digits in some of its book numbers. Leave these numbers as is. However, member record cutters with single digits are OK to modify.)
• Don't use a 2 as the last digit of a cutter number. If 2 is necessary to insert the number in the file, add another digit for wiggle room. (A digit larger than 2 please!)

Translation Numbers. When the bibliographic record has a 240 or 130 field that includes a ‡l for language of translation, additional digits (translation numbers) are usually added to the book number of the original to indicate that the item is a translation and to distinguish it from the call number of the edition in the original language. See PDF: G 150 Translation table

As indicated in section 3., it is not required to base the call number of the translation on the call number of the original expression, but if the call number for the original is readily available, use it. On the other hand, if we don't own a copy of the original with an LC number, it is not necessary to search OCLC or LC for a record for the original with a call number.

Note that the translation table has been considerably modified, with additions for Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Vietnamese.

Note that we should be following current LC policy (per CSM Shelflisting G 150): do not assign a translation number if no 240 or 130 is present.

CAUTION: See the translation section in G 150 (link above) for a list of categories where the translation table should NOT be applied, for handling editions with 2 or more languages, for earlier practice that dropped the 1, for By language A-Z in the schedules, for serials, and for two translations into the same language published in the same year.

Languages not listed in the table

Use of .x19 for languages not provided in the table is no longer current practice.

G 150 states:

If a language is not listed on the Translation Table, select a number for that language that would agree alphabetically with the table and any translation(s) previously shelflisted in the same class.

Previously, LC practice was to repurpose a number in the translation table if it had not already been claimed. For example, if an Estonian translation was being cataloged, and no English language translation had been cataloged up till that point, the .x13 number was used for the Estonian translation. Locally, YUL practice was never to repurpose a number from the table. In the latest iteration of G 150, LC has dropped the repurposing practice, so now our local practice is consistent with LC practice. Under current guidelines, even if an English language translation was never cataloged, the cataloger should add digits to the appropriate number from the table so that the language of the translation being cataloged fits into alphabetical sequence. So the Estonian translation would use, for example, .x138 rather than .x13. If a repurposed number has already been assigned, however, the cataloger should modify the translation number for the resource being cataloged rather than reclassify the previously assigned number.

Copy Catalogers: generally do not add translation notation or what appears to be translation notation to source copy call numbers. Some LC classes use different notation or even separate numbers to identify the language of translation. This is particularly true when the uniform title (now called "preferred title") is entered in 130, e.g. Bible headings. It is not worthwhile checking every such number against ClassWeb. EXCEPTION: If the call number for the translation appears to be conflicting with the call number for the original, consult with your supervisor or a staff member with access to ClassWeb.

When the book number cutters to a personal name, and more than one work has the same personal name as main entry, the book number is adjusted to differentiate works so that the works are subarranged alphabetically by title.

050	0	0	‡a PN1995 ‡b .K225 1994
100	1		‡a Kael, Pauline.
245	1	0	‡a For keeps / ‡c Pauline Kael.
260			‡a New York : ‡b Dutton, ‡c c1994.

050	0	0	‡a PN1995 ‡b .K23 1970
100	1		‡a Kael, Pauline.
245	1	0	‡a Going steady : ‡b film writings, 1968-1969 / ‡c Pauline Kael.
260			‡a Boston : ‡b Little, Brown, ‡c 1970.

BUT: different editions of the same work are assigned the same book number; the editions are subarranged by date.

050	0	0	‡a PN1995 ‡b .K23 1994
100	1		‡a Kael, Pauline.
245	1	0	‡a Going steady : ‡b film writings, 1968-1969 / ‡c Pauline Kael.
260			‡a New York : ‡b M. Boyars, ‡c 1994.
500			‡a Originally published: Boston : Little, Brown. 1970.

When the book number cutters to title, and more than one work has the same title as the main entry, the book number is adjusted so the different works are arranged by imprint date. If the imprint date is the same, subarrange in the order of cataloging. (Slight modification of G100 #5).

Caution: for filing, the title is defined as extending to the first significant mark of punctuation. Since LC restricts "significant mark of punctuation" to either a period or a slash, subtitles (and parallel titles) are considered to be part of the title for filing purposes; essentially, the title is whatever precedes 245 ‡c if there is a ‡c; if no ‡c, the entire 245 field. In the example below, a title such as Sharks: a collection of pictures would file after QL638.9.S4595 irrespective of date. Since LC generally does not classify media items, the manual does not address GMDs; ignore them in filing.

Example following is the result of a (slightly edited) LC call number search in LCDB.

LC Call number a|b	Author	Title Long	Imprint	Comments
QL638.9.S454 1987		Sharks / consulting editor, John D. Stevens.	New York, N.Y. : Facts on File, 1987.	1st. ed. *

*If there is more than one edition of the same work, the same book number is assigned to all editions and the editions are subarranged by date.

12. Corporate Main Entry. When the book number cutters to a corporate name, the cutter is not adjusted when more than one work has the same corporate name main entry. The different works are distinguished by the date. If more than one work is published in the same year, the dates are distinguished by work letters B-Y.

LC Call number a|b	Author	Title Long	Imprint

Geographic cutters are assigned in three ways:

Type 1. The locality is assigned a specific cutter or cutter range in the schedules, e.g. DC611.B848. See LC Classification Call Numbers (Overview) example 2.

Type 2. The locality is assigned a cutter from the SCM 300 table when the schedule says to use "By region or country A-Z " under a given call number. See the FIRST cutter I73(2) in LC Classification Call Numbers (Overview) example 5. There are also tables for states and Canadian provinces to be used for the schedule caption "By state, A-Z" or "By province, A-Z" (SCM 302).

Type 3. The locality is not assigned a specific cutter and is smaller than a "region or country;" the schedule usually says "Local A-Z." The local cutter is usually a second cutter; it is constructed like any other cutter from the LC Cutter Table and adjusted to the local file. See the SECOND cutter D83(5) in LC Classification Call Numbers (Overview) example 5.

The Yale shelflist is unlikely to be in conflict with Type 1, and the expectation is that most cataloging copy sources will use the assigned Type 1 cutter.

Type 3 arrangement in the Yale shelf is often uneven; it is not clear that there was ever a general expectation that the locality subarrangement was to be maintained by copy cataloging. The effect of this unevenness on file integrity and browsers is relatively small.

On the other hand, there has been an expectation that the Type 2 "region or country" (and probably the similar state/province) arrangement generally would be maintained, since this often affects relatively large file ranges and probably has a significant effect on browsing. The shelflisting procedures in 14. are intended to address procedures for Type 2 geographic cutters.

14a. Call numbers assigned by LC (050 00). LC Call numbers with geographic cutters are accepted as is; no attempt is made to adjust the geographic cutter.

14b. Call number assigned by non-LC library (050 _4), including PCC. These call numbers are shelflisted, so:

1. If a cutter for the location has been previously assigned, use the Yale geographic cutter in 852.
2. If the cutter for the location has not been previously assigned, accept the number as given if it is not in conflict with the alphabetical arrangement in Orbis, but adjust otherwise. (However, if upgrading to PCC level, see special instructions following 14c.)

14c. New call numbers (original or member copy without call number):

1. If a cutter for the location has been previously assigned, use the Yale geographic cutter in 852.
2. If the location has not been previously assigned, use the number assigned in the geographic cutter table as given if it is not in conflict with the alphabetical arrangement in Orbis, but adjust otherwise. However, if upgrading to PCC level, see special instructions following:

For cataloging contributed as new PCC (original or upgraded member), the geographic cutter in 050 _4 should be shelflisted against the Library of Congress online catalog call number index. Use the LC cutter if already established at LC; otherwise use the geographic cutter table as the basis, but adjust it if necessary to maintain file integrity within the LC call number file. Source: BIBCO Participants' Manual, E6.2. Library of Congress Classification (LCC). Adjust cutter in 852 to local file if necessary. Note that these procedures do not apply to the second cutter; PCC standards only apply to 050 ‡a.

Key elements of LC practice on use of the region and country table (SCM 300):

1. Apply the table to new entries in the shelflist when the form caption in the schedule reads "By region or country, A-Z"
2. If a cutter has been used in the shelflist or established in the classification schedule, use that number even if it conflicts with the table
3. "If a Cutter for a specific region or country is being applied for the first time in a particular class, and there is no conflict with adjacent Cutter numbers, use the Cutter indicated in the regions and countries table. If a conflict exists with adjacent Cutter numbers, continue the existing Cutter arrangement, adjusting the new Cutter to maintain the proper alphabetical arrangement."

The SCM 300 Region and Country table is on the Cataloger's Desktop and also on the web at:

http://staff.library.mun.ca/staff/toolbox/tables/regcoun.htm

The same practice is used for the states and provinces tables (SCM 302). The SCM 302 States and Provinces table is on the Cataloger's Desktop and also on the web at:

http://staff.library.mun.ca/staff/toolbox/tables/provstat.htm

Or use the Cataloging Calculator.

15. Topical Cutters

Unlike geographic cutters, topical cutters must be established in the LC schedules or tables. (Example: TR681.A-Z Special classes of persons. TR681.A26 Acrobats) Copy catalogers are not expected to verify topical cutters against the schedules. Original catalogers generally should not assign topical cutters if the cutter is not listed in the schedules unless a classification proposal for the cutter has been submitted. For information see the SACO page.

Examples of topical cutter lists in the schedules: ND1460, PN1995.9, PR756, TR681.

For analysis of a specific example, see LC Class Overview Example 3.

EXCEPTION: We will continue longstanding practice and assign cutters locally for special topics, special movements, etc. in the subject bibliography classes (Z5051-7999, e.g. Z5943). However, a topic/movement cutter in a subject bibliography class must be established in the schedules if the record is coded as pcc.

16. If an item is an Abridgement or condensed version of, or selections from an individual work, the standard practice is to add a 2 to the last cutter. The date reflects the publication date of the item. If the abridgment/condensation/selections is also a translation, the translation numbers follow the 2.

Caution: selections from an author's works (as opposed to selections from an individual work) do not follow this procedure and either follow a special table within the schedule or the biography table.

Criticism/Commentaries of Individual Works. (SCM Shelflisting G340).

Reminder For Catalogers Assigning New Numbers. The following general procedures are applied for criticism/commentary of individual works when there are no specific numbers given in the schedules. (For an example using specific numbers see PR4555-4572 for individual works by Charles Dickens, and then PR4556.A7-Z for criticism of Charles Dickens's Bleak House)

17a. Criticism/commentary on the first cutter number. Assign the same call number to the criticism/commentary that was assigned to the original text in the original language, and if the call number for the original text has a single cutter, add the digit 3 to the cutter, and then add a second cutter for the main entry.

Original text:

17b. Criticism/commentary on the second cutter number. Assign the same call number to the criticism/commentary that was assigned to the original text in the original language and, if the call number for the original text already has 2 cutters, add the digit 3 to the last cutter, and then add a digit or digits to represent the main entry.

Filing rules. (From SCM Shelflisting G100). Filing rules come into play when author or geographic cutters need to be subarranged, in subarranging by main entry, or in situations 10-11, when the main entry is the same and subarrangement by title is needed. The basic rule is "file as is." For complex filing arrangements, refer to and base decisions on the Library of Congress Filing Rules (available on the Cataloger's Desktop) rather than the computer sorting order.

While the computer sorting order affects searches on names, the call number search generally follows the order of arrangement of the card shelflist, which is closest to the filing sequence laid out in G100 and the LC Filing Rules. Therefore, we will continue to follow G100 and the LC Filing Rules for shelflist filing order since this appears to be the least disruptive to file integrity.

18a. Personal name filing arrangement:

• file single forenames before single surnames;
• file single surnames before compound forenames;
• file compound forenames before compound surnames.

Note that the forename is demarcated by the comma if there are subordinate elements such as dates, place of origin, or title. Exceptionally, if a forename has enumeration, usually a roman numeral, the demarcation is before the number.

Shelflisting (filing) order (name in subfield c is in italics):

Giovanni II, Bishop of Città di Castello, fl. 1204-1226
Giovanni, 15th cent. <files as 1400-1499>
Giovanni, da Capua, 13th cent.
Giovanni, da San Giovanni, 1592-1636
Giovanni, di Paolo, ca. 1403-ca. 1482
Giovanni, Fiorentino, 14th cent.
Giovanni, André
Giovanni, Fabio, 1958-
Giovanni, José, 1924-
Giovanni, Nikki
Giovanni Bernardo, d. 1503 or 4
Giovanni del Virgilio, fl. 1319

LC Filing Rules, 5.1. Forename Fields: "The leading element of a forename field may be followed by one or more of the following categories of subordinate elements: 1) numeration; 2) dates; 3) additional words. When forename fields have identical leading elements, they are grouped in the following order:

a. Forename alone
b. Forename with numeration/Forename, date		Filed in one numerical sequence
c. Forename, additional word(s). Additional words may include titles, a characterizing word or phrase, and the full form of initials used in the name. In arranging additional words within a group, differences in punctuation are ignored."

18b. Treat a prefix that is part of a name or place as a separate word unless it is joined to the rest of the name directly or by an apostrophe without a space. File letter by letter.

Darby, Joseph R.
D'Arcy, Paula, 1947-
De, S. C
De La Cruz, Jessie Lopez, 1919-
De Lange, Elaine
DeAndrea, William L.
D'Ebneth, Maria Scholten de
Deformation of solids
Del Balzo, Giulio

18c. Ignore initial articles in titles. BUT: initial articles in personal names and place names are accounted for in filing, e.g. El-Ad, Avri; Las Lomas, California.

18d. File abbreviations (e.g. Mc) as written, not as spelled out. Generally start a new file sequence in areas where the old filing rules were used in shelflisting, but keep previously established authors, artists, etc. together. Search under both the abbreviated form and the spelled out form to avoid split files.

18e. Words separated by hyphens are treated as separate words.

18f. Numerals in titles :

• If a number is written out, file alphabetically (Seventy-six trombones files to S)
• If number is in notation form (Arabic, roman numerals), use A12-A19. A12 and A19 are BOUNDARIES and number combinations are infinite, so never assign A12 (or A122 or other low number) or A19. Otherwise, the next shelflister will have a hard time inserting a new number. Entries beginning with numerals should file before entries beginning with letters
• Arrangement of numbers in notation form is in numerical order rather than decimal/computer order; file 12 before 111; punctuation is ignored. (BUT: if there is no number before a decimal point, it is filed before 1!)

Caution: book numbers for literary authors based on the literature tables may not fit into the A12-A19 range. For literary authors based on the P-PZ40 table, for example, the book number range is x.A61-x.Z458. However, a title beginning with numerals will still need to file before the first title beginning with letters.
