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 component of the call number is accomplished using an abbreviated or modified Dewey class number and an author cutter number. This is followed by the locally devised UIUC book number:

Individual Authors
Early period to 1375 851
Classical learning, 1375-1492 852
1492-1585 853
1585-1814 854
1814-1940/50 855
Contemporary authors not already established in the UIUC catalog, 1940/50- 855.1
Works in and/or about Italian dialects 856
Sardinian 857
Romanian (including Wallachian) 858
Rumansh, Rhastian, Rhaeto-Romanic, Moldavian 859
