country, A-Z” under a given call number
State and Province Table. Cutter is assigned
from the SCM G 302 Table when the
schedule says to assign “By state, A-Z” or
“By province, A-Z”

from the LC Cutter Table and adjusted to the local
shelflist

Type 2 Consistency Guidelines
Trailing X: leave Geographic Cutter as is
Member Call Number (including PCC):
If a Geographic Cutter has already been
assigned in Orbis, use the Orbis Cutter
 If a GC has not been assigned in Orbis,
accept the number as given if there is no
conflict with the alphabetical arrangement;
otherwise, adjust

New call numbers: same as 050 _4

Type 2 Special PCC Guidelines
Shelflist against the LC Online Catalog
Use the Cutter previously assigned by LC if
available, even if it conflicts with the G
300/G 302 table
If a number has not been assigned, use the
G 300/G 302 table, but adjust the number if
necessary to maintain alphabetical sequence

Geographic Cutter Tip
Make use of the Cataloging Calculator!
CC provides a quick look-up for country, state,

 CC provides quick construction for numbers
based on the standard LC table
 Avoids booting up Cataloger’s Desktop

Same Title, Different Work
When the book number Cutters to title,
and more than one work has the same
title as the main entry, the book
number is adjusted so the different
works are arranged by imprint date
If the imprint date is the same,
subarrange in the order of cataloging
