CATALOGING FOR THE JUVENILE COLLECTION

Juvenile Books to be cataloged are located on the shelves behind the OCLC terminals. Debby Simmons will be cataloging Juvenile Books.

1. Searching: we recommend using the Microenhancer to search by because most juvenile books have a unique ISBN number. Generating labels may be easier with the microenhancer and we are not charged for a second search when we update the records, and there is no time limit on saving the files.

2. Editing: You will be responsible for the regular quality control procedures of copy cataloging other books. In addition you will be responsible for creating the full call number for the Juvenile Fiction and Juvenile Easy books.

3. Subject headings: accept what LC subject headings may be on the record and if you feel there are LC Children's Headings on the record (2nd indicator "1") that would improve subject access, find the equivalent LC heading. Also, you will add the subdivisions "Juvenile literature" to non-fiction books and "Juvenile fiction" to fiction and Juvenile Poetry to poetry.

CALL NUMBERS:

There are 3 types of juvenile call numbers: Juvenile Fiction and Juvenile Non-fiction, and Juvenile Easy.

Juv Fiction -- Main Entry Cutter (099)
Juv Easy -- Main Entry Cutter only (099)
Juvenile -- Dewey subject number and main entry cutter number (092)

The Cutter number is determined by using the Cutter-Sanborn tables. Each author should have a unique 2 or 3 number cutter number. If the Cutter-Sanborn table does not provide for alphabetical order of very similar names, the cutter number may be expanded another digit. For instance the author Christopher, John has the Cutter number G556. This cutter number applies to all books he has written that are in the juvenile collection no matter whether they are in Juvenile Fiction or Juvenile Easy.

In addition, if the author has more than one book in the juvenile fiction or easy collections, the cutter number is extended using the first letter of the first word of the title. If the author has more than one book that start with the same letter, keep extending the call number using the first letters of each word in the title. For instance Christopher's book Pool of fire is cuttered G556po. (See attached instructions)

In order to determine the correct cutter search the author's name in the Bibliographic/Item Inquiry in clsi. This will give you a screen-by-screen list of all of the cutter numbers that have been used for Juvenile Fiction and Juvenile Easy Books. If we have anything, use those cutter numbers as a guide on how to create and/or extend the call number.

Then in Bibliographic/Item Inquiry, search that call number (put "ju" at the end of the call number to limit your search to juvenile numbers.) If there is a conflict, adjust the call number to fit.

NONFICTION: Use Dewey classification number as recommended by LC and book number from the Cutter-Sanborn alphabetic table. Try not to carry classification number more than two digits beyond the decimal point.
