Type 2. Individual biography class numbers Special biography class numbers for individuals who are likely to have biographical works written about them, but may or may not appear as main entry on works of their own creation or have critical works written about them (e.g. historical personages). Biography tables generally include collected and selected works, autobiographical works, biography and general criticism. Individual works by these people are classified with the subject of the work (along with criticism of the individual work). Anchor C4b C4b
Type 2. a. "Individual biography, A-Z" -- The classification of biographical works is discussed in the SCM: Shelflisting, section G320. The biography table in G320 should be used for works classed in individual biography class numbers in a schedule which does not have its own biography table. Biographical works classed in general class numbers are subarranged according to the Preferred Shelflist Order scheme in G60. Anchor C5 C5
Note that individual biography numbers occur in the P-PZ schedules for persons not covered by provisions for literary authors (critics, historians, actors, journalists, etc.). Works in these numbers are subarranged according to the Biography Table in G320.
A biography table accompanying a schedule takes precedence over the table in G320.
If works by and about an individual happen to be classified at the same number (including biographical works that are not in an individual biography class), they are arranged in the Preferred Shelflist Order--Individual Authors (SCM: Shelflisting, G60.2) by means of a series of successive Cutter numbers for works by the individual, with the last Cutter in the series used for biographical and critical works about the individual, subdivided by means of a second Cutter for the main entry of the work.
