Lately there have been a
lot of miss-shelved items that are miss-shelved through their cutters. I’m not sure what that’s all about, but here
are some examples of the latest searches I’ve found this way:
Missing book: HN90.S6 O76
2007 was found shelved between HN90.P8 Z64 2008 and HN90.R3 A5. The only thing I can think of is that whoever
shelved it ignored the “S” and got their alphabet wrong with their O’s and P’s. O comes after N, not P folks. Or conversely someone could have decided S
comes before R. We will never know.
The other missing item:
BX4827.B57 M48 2010 was found shelved between BX4827.B57 B86 1985 and BX4827
.B57 C36 1999. Not sure where the logic
falls under here other than maybe someone became confused with all the B’s
floating around in this call number range, or it could be the dim lighting in
this section combined with faded type on the label. Either way, this book was a couple shelves
away from its proper location.
Moral of the story is
always check/shelf-read everything within the section because folks get
confused with cutters.
Happy Searching!
