5. Cutter Codes

Rules

·        Use 3-letter cutters for places before the creator cutter, if applicable to the subject of the book and not already reflected in the class designator.

o   Check Place Cutter Codes for common cutters.

·        Use 3-letter cutters for the creator, whether person, organisation, or corporation.

o   In cases of multiple authors, choose the first author only.

o   For organisations and corporations, check Entity Cutter Codes for common cutters.

·        In large creator/place areas, use format cutters to keep call numbers unique.

·        After the applicable cutters, use the most current date of publication found on the copyright page or elsewhere.

·        Use volume numbers for sets by the same author.

o   Only use volume numbers for sets on the same topic, published in the same year, by the same creator.
Example: a series about Metis history by Eccles would be CU ECC 2005 1, CU ECC 2005 2, etc.

o   In the event of a multi-volume set on the same topic with the same publication year but with different authors, do not use volume numbers. Use alpha notations to distinguish any volumes of the set written by the same author.
Example: a series about Metis history where volume 1 is by Eccles and volumes 2 and 3 are by Jamieson would be CU ECC 2005, CU JAM 2005a, CU JAM 2005b

People Cutters

Individuals

·        3 characters – First 3 letters of the author’s last name

·        For anthologies or works with no primary author, use the first 3 letters of the first editor’s last name

Entities (Institutions, Organizations, Corporations, Government, Events)

·        3 characters – See Entity Cutter Codes for authorized form of names & common cutters

·        For entities not listed in the spreadsheet, first check the catalogue for other publications by them. Use the same cutter code as has already been entered

·        If there are no previous publications by the entity, use the conventions found on the Entity Cutter Codes to create a new cutter code for the entity. These do not have to be unique to each entity, but they cannot be the same code as the major entities listed in Entity Cutter Codes.

·        In general, use organizations/publishers rather than individual authors for common First Nations organizations & government bodies
