=====================================
(This procedure is not for special collection materials.)
Background: After Education Resource Centre was merged into YUL, new call number systems, location codes and item types were introduced into cataloguing workflow for Juvenile materials.
This cataloguing workflow only applies to general stock materials, not for special collections.
1. Before cataloguing, please check library catalogue to see how similar items have been classified (same or similar author name) and follow the existing practice.
2. Target of audience
- j - Juvenile
3. Call number
- Juvenile fiction
- Chapter books (mostly text): FIC
- Easy readers (mostly pictures): E
Call numbers are composed of Cutter-Sanborn number and the first two letters in title. Use 090 field for Cutter-Sanborn numbers. Please only use one-letter cutter number even though the cutter number generator may create two-letter cutter numbers. One more digit can be added based on shelving list in order to differentiate names.
------------ Example: 090 ## FIC C235ED (A chapter book written by Haiyun Cao titled “Education juvenile materials”) -----------
- Juvenile non-fiction (Juvenile curricular resources): In MARC field 082, add Dewey decimal classification number, a space, and the first three letters in author’s last name or title if no author.
------------ Example: 082 14 497.1 POC -----------
For semi-original cataloguing: Add Dewey Decimal classification number to Juvenile non-fiction if there is an LC Subject heading (LCSH) or an LC Classification Number (LCC) in the record. Use the Bibliographic Correlations function in LC Classweb to create the Dewey Decimal classification number. If there is not LCSH or LCC in the record, send to original cataloguing.
4. Subject headings
For original cataloguing, add LCSH, LC Children’s subject headings and genre headings.
For copy cataloguing, leave the existing subject headings and add the following genre headings in 655:
Fiction: Juvenile fiction
------------ Example: 655 #7 $$a Juvenile fiction $$2 lcgft ------------
Non-fiction: Juvenile literature
------------ Example: 655 #7 $$a Juvenile literature $$2 lcgft ------------
5. Holding record, 852 field
- Juvenile fiction: first indicator: 8 (for other classification scheme)
----------- Example: 852 8# $$b SCOTT $$c SCOTT-JUV $$h FIC C235ED------------
- Juvenile non-fiction: first indicator: 1 (for Dewey Decimal classification)
----------- Example: 852 1# $$b SCOTT $$c SCOTT-JUV $$h 497.1 POC ------------
