Repl."
in library notes on packing slip or order record).
2. Only monographs in the
English

will be cataloged to Science.

("monuments of music" and composers' collected works, chiefly scores)
are given bibliographic location code uam, and item location code uamh,

4. The State Geological
Survey publications
for the following states are the only ones which will be cataloged to
Science;
the rest will be cataloged to Du Bois. However, if the publication is a
serial,
it should not be cataloged to Science automatically, but should be
referred
to the Science Librarian for consideration and decision.

5. Do not catalog to
Science:
Anecdotal travels
Biographies
Historical, sociological,
etc. atlases
Less scholarly works
(understandable
to an average reader)
Popular treatments
Rare books and manuscripts
Unscholarly picture books
However, do
catalog to Science:
Anything "AA to Science,"
even
in the above categories, with a "Notify" or a "Hold" for someone whose
address is a science or engineering department.
When in doubt, use the shelf
labeled "Science Library Consultation Shelf,"
located
in the Information Processing Department, on a brick pillar opposite
the
Fishbowl window and opposite a filing cabinet. A Science
Librarian
comes over regularly, decides on a location for anything we have placed
upon this shelf, and notes the decision for each book on its routing
slip.
After decisions have been
made, the books are removed and cataloged. Please
initial
the routing slip if you'd like an item returned to you for cataloging.
