-Final Note on the Shelving Arrangement at SEL
+Notes on the Shelving Arrangement at SEL
-The Five College Copy of Record Reference sets mentioned above (Chemical Abstracts, Beilstein, Gmelin, Sadtler files), along with our own Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR Index) are shelved in a special area on 3rd Floor SEL. Over the years this area was informally known as the “Reference Annex.” With the potential of Five College users as well as our own scientists using these titles, is was necessary to identify the collection and its physical location more clearly in ALEPH. A new ALEPH collection code was created and the location “UM/Science Library Floor 3” was assigned to each title.

Over the years this area was informally known as the “Reference Annex.” With the potential of Five College users as well as our own scientists using these titles, is was necessary to identify the collection and its physical location more clearly in WorldCat and ALEPH. A new ALEPH collection code was created and the location “UM/Science Library Floor 3” was assigned to each title.
 Chemical Abstracts, Beilstein, Gmelin, and the Sadtler files are difficult to shelve, for various reasons. In the past only the science librarians would reshelve them. To aid student assistants who do all the shelving now, a shelving order number (1,2,3, ...) has been added on the book spines for each title, in addition to the call number.
-The Library’s printed Beilstein near to complete copy among the Five Colleges. Smith College has 2 volumes of the 1881 edition that will complete our set. These will eventually be transferred to UMass when they are no longer needed at Smith.
+The Library’s printed Beilstein is near to complete. Smith College has 2 volumes of the 1881 edition that will complete our set. These will eventually be transferred to UMass when they are no longer needed at Smith. The Science Librarian at Smith is aware that they should be transferred to SEL when a member of their Chemistry Department no longer needs access at the Smith Library.
+All indexes for Chemical Abstracts are filed at the very beginning of the set, from earliest year to latest. Indexes are filed in the following order: author, chemical, subject, patent numbers. The abstract volumes follow all the indexes, arranged from earliest years to latest.
+GMELIN is filed by chemical element, from earliest edition to latest for each element, regardless of year or call number.
+Beilstein is also arranged by chemical element, from earliest edition to latest for each element, regardless of year or call number.
