Call numbers

Generally, write the call number either on the accompanying material (or its container), or on a label to be affixed to the accompanying material (or its container), whatever is appropriate.

Do not add a call number to:
  • pockets physically attached to main text containing maps, photographs, slides, or charts
  • loose and/or folded sheets of paper
Add a call number to:
  • all other types of accompanying material, including maps, photographs, slides or charts contained in pockets physically attached to main text
  • booklets in the jewel cases for accompanying audio compact discs or CD-ROM discs
  • booklets in cases for accompanying DVDs
  • each score and part

If maps, photographs, slides, or charts are contained in a separate container not physically attached to the main text, add a call number to the container.

The call number for the accompanying material consists of:

  • the call number of the item it accompanies, and
  • a term describing the accompanying material (see Terms for accompanying material below).
