Subfield z in Call Numbers
1. USE OF SUBFIELD Z IN THE CALL NUMBER FIELD IN SIRSI
In Sirsi, a separate call number record is generally created for each volume of a multipart title (e.g., a serial, integrating resource, or set). Within each call number record, the base call number (i.e., the part of the call number which is applicable to all volumes attached to that bibliographic record) goes before the subfield z, and the volume number and/or date which applies to each particular volume is input into the subfield z of the call number field.
2. INPUT CONVENTIONS
- No space before or after |z.
- Always use Arabic numerals.
- Enter a space between each Cutter no., vol. no., date, etc.
