- The table below shows all of the collections used by catalogers, except those for electronic resource cataloging. Some collections were used for conversion (e.g., Perkins Quarto) or are used by other staff (e.g., Reserves).
- or books, item status is determined by collection. For other formats, item status is determined by format (with non-book formats usually sorted by collection, such as "Lilly A-V DVD"). However, for non-circulating collections such as Reference, the item status of the collection overrides the item status of the format. This chart gives the "default" item status. For a complete list, see Aleph tab15.
- Changes to the definition of collections in Aleph, including the creation of new collection and changes to display are usually handled by Metadata & Discovery Strategy, in consultation with Resource Description and public services staff.
- If the need arises to catalog for a collection that is already defined in Aleph but is not listed here, propose that it be added.
Call numbers use LC classification unless otherwise indicated.

Library Service Center | Do not use in cataloging. LSC collection codes are assigned as items are accessioned into the LSC, and retain information about the owning library. | Materials designated for the LSC are cataloged for Perkins or the appropriate branch, using the call number that would be used for that collection, but call number labels are not printed. Instead, a label reading "LSC" is applied by the cataloger (or by gifts staff referring materials to CatS), and the materials are placed on designated shelves in MPU. The labels go in the same place as call number labels (on the bottom of the spine if the spine is wide enough, otherwise on the bottom left corner of the front cover) | ||
