1’s and 0’s; 2’s and 9’s


This weekend while searching for my newly submitted searches, I found some PN’s out of order once again!  This section of our library is becoming quite the little annoying pest of miss-shelving!

The first miss-shelve mishap was the call number PN6110.C4 U56 shelved as PN6010.C4 U56.  I’m not sure what it is with 1’s and 0’s, but when they are in a combination with each other, they can be rather bothersome if miss-shelved.  It’s always good and prudent to look for everything having to do with multiple 1’s and 0’s especially when they are together.  It’s as if the miss-shelve mistake was speaking binary!

The other ones I found, which I deem a bit unusual (and not even a proper search card request), were several PN1992’s shelved with PN1929’s.  I’m not sure what went wrong here other than a number switch or 1992 wanted to take a time warp trip back to 1929 perhaps in a book truck shaped TARDIS. (Ok, I admit I watched a lot of Dr. Who this weekend…)

Happy Searching!
