                      REFERENCE COLLECTION

Reviewed Nov 17, 1998 by Richard Lindemann

     The Reference Collection, shelved in the department's
Reading and Reference Rooms, contains standard ready-reference
tools such as dictionaries and encyclopedias, general reference
works concerning bibliography, book arts and the history of
printing, as well as groups of books topically focused to provide
research support for the department's holdings.  These reference
works are shelved in call number order within particular
groupings, and correlating group codes form a part of the call
number to effect proper shelving.

050  Use conventional LC Classification, adding one of the below
090  codes as a suffix in the call number string:

          Collection/Group              Code
          AIWF                          AIWF
          Archives                      Arch
          Cataloging tools              Cat
          Finding aids                  Find
          Hispanic (including Baja)     Hisp
          Poetry                        Poet
          Ready reference               RR
          Spanish Civil War             Span
          Voyages/Pacific               Voy
          Western Americana             West

     As described in procedure I.B.3 (Call number sublocation
     codes), these codes are added at the end of call numbers to
     indicate the appropriate shelving location.

     Reference books that are used by catalogers frequently,
     either in general or for a particular cataloging project,
     may be permanently or temporarily assigned the sublocation
     Cat and shelved in the catalogers' tools area in technical
     processing.  They appear on ROGER and may be paged for
     public service use.

     Reference books of a general nature, not pertinent
     exclusively to a particular grouping, receive no group code
     suffix [although previous practice was to code these Gen for
     "General"].

099  Per UCSD cataloging policy, bibliographies in Reference (and
     throughout Special Collections) are classified in LC subject
     classes, not in the Z class, using the local technique of
     adding a small "z" at the end of the class number, e.g.:

     Ex: 099  F |a 1246z |a .B37 |a 1967 |aHisp

949  The location code for reference books, regardless of
     grouping, is cpr or cprf.
