Scope (Policy): Classification on Receipt (COR) is an abbreviated form of cataloging that reflects limited bibliographic description, subject analysis, and (in most cases) no authority work. This procedure is to be applied to printed monographic materials that require original cataloging, but have a reasonable chance of being cataloged by another institution. Such items are handled in the manner outlined below, assigned full call numbers, and sent to the stacks to await overlay by our Batchmatch processing routine. This procedure does not apply to non-book formats (serials, microforms, videos, scores, maps, or electronic resources). Anchor A A

Modify the in-process record in Voyager to bring it up to the LTS standard for COR abbreviated level, as defined in this procedure. Any record input by LTS should be described according to RDA. If the record is based on AACR2 preliminary copy input by LC or another member library, leave the record as AACR2. For the most part, retain data elements that are already present in the record you are modifying unless they are clearly in error.

Classify items according to the LC classification schedules, unless one or more of the exceptional cases listed in LTS Procedure 11, "Shelflisting," apply. Use the schedules on the Catalogers Desktop. Add the call number to the bib record in the 050 field, 1st indicator blank, and 2nd indicator 4 (050: 4:).
If you find an actual LC cutter for an individual literary author, artist, geographic area, or subject, use it. Otherwise construct a cutter using Library of Congress practice for cuttering, as described in the LC Shelflisting Manual, available on Cataloger's Desktop.
