Formal Shelf Arrangement and Formal Call Numbers
We speak of formal collection arrangement when documents
are ordered according to some external criterion such as: a) the
physical form (format, size, type of binding); b) formal descriptive
characteristics of the document (author, title, language, script, year
of publication or publisher); c) library orientated information:
accession number/acquisition number, acquisition year.
The most common methods of formal call numbering are the
following:
• Combination of book size mark and numerus currens,
i.e. arrangement of books within a book’s size format in the
order of accession. Book size can be expressed by symbol or
numerus currens, can be in jump sequences; each sequence
being reserved for a different book size
• Combination of book size and chronological order, i.e.
books within a certain book size format would be arranged
by year of publication and very often by numerus currens
within a year
Numerus currens on its own – this mechanical
arrangement on its own is often adopted by archives and
smaller libraries with closed stacks
• Alphabetical arrangement by author/title on its own -
often in fiction collections and in public libraries
* Using first letters of the authors sur
* Using author numbering systems
