Newspapers. Until Oct. 2012, newspapers were assigned Yale classification An, and the title cutter construction was based, exceptionally, on the Cutter table (which has a more detailed expansion than the LC table). Shelflisting against a separate An shelflist was required. From Oct. 2012, reflecting the steep decline in newspaper microform purchases, microform newspaper call numbers are constructed following the standard accession number procedures used for microform serials & are shelflisted against the Film S or NS shelflists.
NOTE: For a purchased negative service copy, use Film B or Film S call number. Do not assign Film N or Film NS call number.
CALL NUMBERS FOR OTHER LOCATIONS: assign according to the appropriate scheme for the location.

- Item type is microform
- For multi-part monographs or serials, the ENUM and CHRON fields in the item record should indicate the volumes and/or years represented on the microfilm reel.
- After the title is cataloged, the item record is discharged and the microfilm is sent to Preparations.
