[^1]: Orientation of book assumed to be spine left for purposes of
    location description. Front cover refers to cover of book in this
    orientation, regardless of text layout inside (i.e., volume in
    languages that read back to front).

[^2]: Applied only to the first instance of a work.

    ^3^ If cataloged as Minimal Level Cataloging (MLC), receives
    preprinted shelving number label rather than call number.

[^3]: May include accompanying material. See 3.1.3 for guidelines on
    marking the accompanying material.

[^4]: Applied only to the first instance of a work.

[^5]: Because the pieces are housed and served together with their
    primary item (e.g. book with maps, book with floppy disk), it is not
    necessary to apply a full set of labels to each piece. For
    accompanying material which is vulnerable from a security
    standpoint, affix a PIN to each piece that is different than the
    book PIN. Note: Books issued with sound recordings are not treated
    as "Books with accompanying material" because each format is stored
    separately.

[^6]: Applied only to the first instance of a work. Placement is not
    shown in the illustrations for this format.

[^7]: Box (optional - may not require a box)
