Call numbers

As of August 2011, all CDs will be giving an accesion number at the point of cataloging. This includes non-music CDs.
Note: This replaces the previous system of giving music CDs a generated call number and non-music CDs a LC call number.

The Accession Number List is available at I:\BMS\Accession Lists\UMCD.xlsx.

Retrospective conversion:

As CDs with previous call number systems come through cataloging, we will assign them new call numbers and relabel them.

In the long-term, BMS/Media students will go back and give all the CDs accession numbers and relabel them.

EXCEPTION

Special Collections and FAC/STAFF Collection materials should be assigned call numbers according to the instructions at Special Collections Copy Cataloging. Vicki can assign the appropriate call number.

Labels

(Call number labels are generated from a macro.)
