[DCRM-L] Does anyone else shelve STCs of the Pollard and Redgrave variety by STC number?

[Anne Peale]

Hello Erin,

Williams College does! The Chapin Library has classifications for STC,
Wing, and Shaaber, with a decimal system used to interpolate items that
weren't in the original bibliographies. However, there is
a longstanding practice of giving precedence to our Americana and Science
classifications over STC/Wing/Shaaber when items fit more than one
classification scope.

All best,
Anne
