Olin and Uris Library: A-P classification shelved in Olin ; Q-Z shelved in Uris Library.Anchor A1 A1
-
Obsolete and locally invented class numbersAnchor A2 A2 As a general rule, do not use obsolete or locally invented class numbers. For later editions of works originally classified at these numbers, use the call number of the earlier edition OR assign a new, valid call number, whichever is easiest. If all works by an author previously processed at Cornell are in the cancelled ranges of PR for Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India or Africa, you have the option of continuing to use that classification.
Historically, LTS Olin catalogers constructed skeletal call numbers consisting of classification letters for the areas of law not yet developed by LC and added a cutter for the main entry. These call numbers should now be used only for later editions of works originally classified at the skeleton K numbers.
See Call Number Examples for the format of a skeletal call number.

Materials out of scopeAnchor A3 A3 Do not use this procedure to classify and shelflist the following types of materials:
Category Comments Accession numbers Some types of materials (e.g. microforms, videorecordings, and sound recordings) are assigned "accession type" numbers at certain locations. When assigning accession numbers, catalogers should use the automated media shelflisting system, CLAMSS. See also LTS Procedure #24 #20 , Computer Disk Processing, LTS Procedure #33#26, Processing Videorecordings, LTS Procedure #17#14 , Sound Recordings Processing and LTS Procedure #28a#23a , Microform Processing for details. Archival materials RMC and Kheel Center use local classification systems. Congressional hearings See Exception in LTS Procedure #4
Cornell theses See LTS Procedure #16 , Theses Processing Materials eligible for fast processing or fast cuttering Refer to the Fastcat (LTS Procedure #4#3b) and Non-Fastcat Copy Cataloging (LTS Procedure #35#27) procedures as appropriate. Selected materials in GV1580-GV1799.4 (Dance), M (Music) Call numbers in the range GV1580-GV1799.4 should not be added to the Olin collection, but rather should be cataloged for the Music Library. Also for Music Library, see exception for certain call number ranges in LTS Procedure #4.
Books classed in GV and M/ML in vernacular Asian languages (e.g. Tagalog, Indonesian, Chinese) should be cataloged for Kroch Asia.
All materials in the scores format are sent to Music Library regardless of the language of the text.
