Event Description

In this session, we'll explore the basics of assigning call numbers for LC and Dewey call numbers: classification and for LC, the cuttering process. We'll delve into some of the more unique cuttering practices, too! Along the way, we'll also talk about authority data, as well as best practices for different editions, reproductions, and more, all through the lens of call numbers. This session will be a great refresher for more experienced catalogers and well as a strong foundation for newer catalogers or anyone who just wants to understand more about call numbers!

Resources and exercises for post-class work will be provided.  
Audience: Catalogers, Technical Services, Systems, as well as any library staff interested in bibliographic data
