Abstract
ABSTRACT In 2001, the Cataloging and Government Documents Departments of the Green Library at Florida International University (FIU) embarked on a project to reclassify the Official Records of the United Nations (UN). Some documents had been classed in the superseded Library of Congress (LC) classification JX and some had only UN document numbers. FIU decided to unite the collection in the new LC classification schedule, JZ. Because LC had classified only one Official Record, there was no pattern to follow in creating classification numbers. Likewise, few other libraries were using the new schedule. As the reclassification project began, it became clear that the classification numbers for serials could not be cuttered in the usual manner and that, somehow, session numbers had to be included. Addenda, corrigenda, annexes, and the various subordinate bodies also presented many complexities.
