Call number use when adding copy/volumes policy

Below is SUL's policy re call number when adding copies and volumes to an existing Symphony record.

When adding a copy or volume for the same library to an existing Symphony record, accept the call number and class scheme as used in the Symphony record.

When adding a copy or volume for a different library not already represented in Symphony:

• If Library of Congress (LC) classification in Symphony, accept the call number and class scheme as used in the existing Symphony library.
• If Dewey classification in Symphony, search for and use an LC call number and class scheme, following current call number acceptance policy.
• If Alphanum scheme in Symphony, search for and use an LC call number and class scheme, following current call number acceptance policy.  If a Stanford dissertation, use the standard thesis format -- 3781 [year] [first initial of author's last name] .
