Storage Codes

 

Scope: Preliminary records are created for books where no cataloging copy is found in Voyager, OCLC or RLIN. Items for unit libraries for which LTS Olin does the processing are assigned to a storage code for that unit. O/K/U items are assigned to a storage code for the broad language category in which the item is written. Below is a list of the storage codes for both the unit libraries, and O/K/U storages, with the languages that fall into each.
