Book Sizes
RBML books are shelved in four separate areas according to size. These are: MINI, IU- (i.e., IUA, IUB), IUQ, and IUZ.
| Maximum height of binding | Size area | Example of shelfmark |
|---|---|---|
| ≤14 cm. | MINI | MINI00362 |
| ≤28 cm. | IU- | IUA10239, IUB00244 |
| 28-42 cm. (or 25-35 cm. wide) | IUQ | IUQ03588 |
| >42 cm. (>35 cm. wide) | IUZ | IUZ00010 |
As each new truck of books is brought out from the stacks for cataloging, MINIs and IUQs should be flagged accordingly and removed to their respective locations on the cart.
Remember: for MINIs, the location code in the MFHD must be changed to rbm-nc.
