For example, a cataloger may create the Cutter number "M45" to represent the access point "Melroy, Pamela Anne, 1961- ". If there is another access point in the section represented by the same cutter number, the cataloger must adjust the new cutter number by adding more digits to the end.

Use the first letter of the access point as the first letter of your Cutter number.Geographic names have a unique Cutter table the standard cutter table is appropriate for all other terms. If using LC Classification, select the appropriate Cutter table.Check to see if a cutter number has already been established for this access point in the section.This is often the author's name, but could also be a biographee's name, a title, a geographic or topic subject term, or some other access point. Choose the appropriate access point that you would like to alphabetize.To meet these goals, Charles Amni Cutter developed a system of abbreviations that allow catalogers to file books alphabetically without taking up much space on a spine label. Moreover, we want each call number to be unique to a particular item, to facilitate shelving and identifying the volume. The titles listed on the spine will not do, because they often do not contain the word by which the book should be arranged, and when they do, the shelver cannot always see at a glance which of several words is the one to shelve by. However, these books will all need spine labels to show this information. In Fiction sections, such an arrangement (typically by author's last name) is almost a necessity. Moreover, one will find all the lives of Washington standing side by side, which will often not happen on any other plan. A patron can simply go to the shelf, and get the life one wants, without having to consult a catalog In an alphabetically arranged Biography section, for instance, a patron will be able to find books about AdamsĪt the beginning of the section, Washington at the end, and Jefferson somewhere near the middle. Timeless Design: Furniture this flexible, durable, and technology-friendly calls for a clean design that will continue looking relevant throughout its long life.Libraries often arrange certain books alphabetically by author, title, or subject. Technology Supporting: Products are designed to support changing technology for long-term relevancy. That’s where Dewey comes in!ĭewey was designed to earn top marks in four critical areas:įlexibility: Today’s varied teaching and learning styles call for furniture that can quickly and easily shift into different configurations, whether the focus is on the instructor, on student collaboration, or on a distance learning screen.ĭurability: To withstand the rigors of frequent rearranging and constant use, Dewey was designed with long-lasting materials and components, from cast and extruded aluminum bases to urethane edges. We leverage great design to create as much synergy as possible among them. We’ve been studying learning dynamics for a long time and have arrived at four key factors that are constantly shifting and interacting: students, technology, space, and pedagogy.
