Please classify the following titles and topics. You do not need to construct a full call number
(with item number and date) since main entry and date information is not provided. If the
classification schedule requires one or two cutter numbers, you should incorporate these into
your answers.
For geographic cutters not provided by a table, please use the Cataloging Calculator’s “Geog.
Cutter” search option. The Cataloging Calculator can be found at:
