NOTE:
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 .

General Notes:
1. Do not designate as oversize. Unit makes its own oversize decisions on a case-by-case basis.
2. O/K/U sublocations which use oversize symbols, such as ref: Apply the same oversize designations as for other materials for those locations, i.e. both |k Oversize and |m +, ++, +++, as appropriate. See examples in Olin section. Do not use oversize symbols for Newpapers or items in LTS reference collection.
3. Music Library: In the event of two $m entries, the + should be in the first $m.
4. Olin maps: Maps Dept. staff make decisions on a case-by-case basis. Include designation in call number as indicated on map and pre-cataloging worksheet.
5. Conservation staff will create a contour case for undersize or "tiny" items (less than 12 cm. in height) for O/K/U. Whether they are hardcover or paperback, catalogers should place them on the softcover truck with a note on flyer to create contour case.
6. Items designated as +++ for Olin, Uris and Kroch Asia, will be housed in the Annex, with locs: olin,anx ; uris, anx ; ech,anx ; sasa,anx ; was,anx.
7. Items classed in G ++ for Olin will be housed in the Annex: olin,anx.
8. Items for Olin/Uris/Asia stacks which are wider than 20 cm. require an oversize designation. This pertains in particular to juvenile books that are often as wide as they are high. Library "regular-size" shelves will handle no more than 20 cm. in width.
