- Sizes falling between numbers should always be rounded up to the higher number.
- Oversize designations refer to the width as well as the height of an item. See also note 8.
- Undersize items (less than 12 cm.) will be put in a contour case. See note 5 .
EXAMPLE of an Oversize designation in FOLIO: a common Oversize scenario is shown below as an example: book is between 26 and 30 cm. tall, and is for the Echols collection. Using the chart, we add "Oversize" to the Call number prefix field, and a single plus sign (+) to the Call number suffix field:
