For Works by or about an individual author, the citation order is to first class together all
the works by or about an author, then secondly to subdivide by the Book Number Scheme. The first
line of the call number is accomplished using a modified Dewey class number (use only the base
class number for the particular literature; do not add genre numbers); the second line consists of
an author cutter number; the third line consists of the locally devised UIUC book number:
Book Number Scheme for Individual Authors A Bibliography B Biography C Correspondence D Critical works (Higher criticism) E Concordance F Lexicons G Grammatical works H Text critical works (Minor and textual) I Collected works or complete works J Translations of collected or complete works K Selections & fragments in the original (include prose of a noted poet & vice versa) L Selections & fragments in translation O Individual works, arranged alphabetically Under I-L arrange by editor, or translator, or, failing these, by date. Under I-L, add a work mark to the call number for a second title, with the same editor. Under O keep editions of the same work separate by date.
