General Notes:
1. Do not designate as oversize. Unit makes its own oversize decisions on a case-by-case basis.
2. Olin and Kroch Asia sublocations which use oversize symbols, such as ref: Apply the same oversize designations as for other materials for those locations, i.e. both |k Oversize and |m +, ++, +++, as appropriate. See examples in Olin section. Do not use oversize symbols for Newpapers or items in LTS reference collection.
3. Music Library: In the event of two $m entries, the + should be in the first $m.
4. Olin maps: Maps Dept. staff make decisions on a case-by-case basis. Include designation in call number as indicated on map and pre-cataloging worksheet.
5. Conservation staff will create a contour case for undersize or "tiny" items (less than 12 cm. in height) for O/K/U. Whether they are hardcover or paperback, catalogers should place them on the softcover truck with a note on flyer to create contour case.
