Fiscal Year 2024 Note
For purposes of the Lilly Renovation:
Beginning Monday, February 5th, all incoming items with LC Class “TR” (photography books), except for those in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages, should be processed as follows: Sublibrary: PERKN / Item Collection: TAP.
Spine labels will still print out with “Lilly” locations, but these books should be included on carts destined for Perkins.
Some “TR” items will arrive on shipments with batch loaded orders and bib/item records. The item records for those will need to be updated to reflect the new location.
Info on “TR” classed items in GOBI shipments will be noted in the exception reports.
Incoming CJK items classified in the "TR" range are processed for the East Asian Collection.
Call numbers beginning with these letters do not go to Perkins Stacks and should be assigned to Lilly or Music unless it's paid by the Divinity School Library (fund code starts with D).
All call numbers in the M range: Music
All call numbers in the N range: Lilly
All call numbers in the TR1-TR1050 range: Lilly
All call numbers in the BL-BX range: Divinity (regardless of who paid for them)
All call numbers between PN1990 - PN1999 (PLI Collection): Lilly except Theater (based on Subject Headings)
Example:
All call numbers for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language textual monographs and serials, except for those noted below, are sent to East Asian Collection (collection code PKE).
[1] This classification range applies only to music scores. Scores continue to reside in the Music Library collection, per past practice. Books on music history and musicology (ML and MT call number ranges) will be sent to E.A.C.
[2] To ensure that all works that represent or are about visual arts, architecture, and photoraphy reside in the Lilly Library collection and to simplify processing, all works in N-NX should go to Lilly. However, see the Lilly Renovation Project exception to this policy listed in the "Note" area at the beginning of this document.
