Locations within Alma are only meant to stand in for actual physical locations. Each physical Location is part of a Library. At UVic there are only two Libraries with locations attached: Mearns-McPherson Library (library code = MAIN) and the Priestly Law Library (library code = LAW).
Locations in Alma mean physical locations. See the following tabs for locations associated with Libraries / Collections across UVic Libraries. For information on what happened to Voyager Locations in Alma and decisions made during the migration, see the Voyager to Alma to Primo Location Mapping tab.
This table reflects decisions made during the Voyager-Alma migration and is current as of June 28, 2022.

Last revised: 2022-06-27 (GLJ)
The Diana M. Priestly Law Library is located in the Fraser Building. The Law Library catalogue - and the technical services to support it - was once completely separate from the McPherson Library catalogue. Following the merger of the catalogues, some Law technical services staff were reassigned and relocated to become part of the McPherson Library's technical services staff. All order, pay, receipt, as well as cataloguing of Law material is now done by McPherson Library staff. End-processing of Law material is still done by Law staff.
Two separate Bib records for the same title may still exist in the merged catalogue: one with a law location, one with a main location. Best practice going forward: one shared Bib record with two separate Holdings records for each location.
Law summarized holdings were expressed differently than main's. Best practice going forward: use main's practice to express holdings.
New PO's, location codes, and predictive check-in records for Law had to be created after the merger of the catalogues & technical services in Voyager, and then once again with the migration from Voyager to Alma. Refer to the [*Add link to updated Alma Location Code & Rubric Table*] ; codes beginning with "law...".
Law has several categories of material that have their own call no. schema: Law Periodicals, Law Reports, Law Digests, Law Statutes, etc. These categories of material are shelved in separate physical locations within the Law Library. These locations are only assigned as requested by Law Librarians. See supervisor if any questions.
Law integrating resources (e.g. loose-leaf) are deferred to supervisor for time being.
Law barcodes almost all their material, including serials. Always check for item records when updating serial records located in Law. Best practice going forward: Law staff continue to barcode items as before; main barcodes only annuals and less frequently published material. [*Policy & Law workflow to be reviewed post-Alma migration*]
Whenever possible, best practice is to align procedures so there is consistency between the libraries.
Law Library email: lawlib@uvic.ca
Law Librarians/Reference email: lawref@uvic.ca
Glenda / Susan
MARC Tags:
Catalogue material designated for the Law Library in accordance with the UVic RDA Workflows for monographs or serials. Some things to note that are particular to or are exceptions for the Law Library are as follows:
035 Retain 035 local control number (035 | | | ‡9 uviclw#####) if present, as it identifies the original Law Bib# pre-Voyager merge.
040 The old MARC Organization Code that was specific for the UVic Law Library (CaBViVL) is no longer used but may still be present in old/existing Law Bib records.
591 Change to 590 (591 was once a Local Note designated specifically for Law. Current practice: Use 590 for any Local Notes, with appropriate wording to clarify Law copy if necessary)
If suggested LC Class number is not already present in 050, then go to K (-KZ) Class schedules (Law) to determine what it should be.
Notes on KE/KF: Always use subclass KE (Law of Canada) as appropriate. *Prior to KE being established, the Law Library used the “KF Modified” schedule (Law of the United States). Current local practice is to use KE if there is ANY Canadian Law content within the resource. KF is still used IF the resource is strictly pertaining to US Law only. Investigate if any suggested class numbers are indicated in CIP data, as a possible lead.
Classify new editions using KE as appropriate. If an older edition exists & it’s classified under older KF Modified call number, leave older edition as is; no need to reclassify older edition.
*Exception: If item is filling in a gap in the collection, and the rest of the collection is filed under KF, place ‘new’ item under KF to fill gap.
Notes on KI: Effective 2017- New KI classification for “Law of Indigenous peoples” (see Classification Web)
*See the Law KI Reclassification Project on Connect for full background
Law Librarians may identify select titles for KI classification/reclassification that are not inherently Indigenous Law subject matter.
If reclassifying an existing title, do not re-catalogue (possible exceptions, at cataloguer's discretion)
At this time, in cases of multiple Library holdings locations, only the Law Library's copy holdings will be reclassified, and the reprocessing of call no. labels will continue to be done at Law
*IMPORTANT: Beyond the scope of this specific project, the underlying rationale and principles are also influencing the cataloguing of newly acquired Law materials with Indigenous subject matter. If you should find yourself about to catalogue material designated for the Law Library and the material has anything to do with Indigenous or First Nations content, please pause to consider if it might be a candidate for classifying in the LC KI-KIL class schedules. In cases of doubt, consult the Law Librarians at: lawref@uvic.ca
Notes on JX/JZ: JX is obsolete with law. DO NOT USE. (JZ has replaced it). If any law books have JX call #, set aside and consult the Law Librarians at: lawref@uvic.ca
If any NEW conferences are received, consider cataloguing as a serial. Do not re-catalogue past conferences that may have been catalogued as monographs.
Use conference date as date in call number in most instances, except when the conference is not considered to be the creator, per the Library of Congress Classification and Shelflisting Manual, Table on Conferences, Congresses, Meetings, Etc., Table G230:
New with Alma, Law Holdings records should be coded with 852 $b : Library in Alma = 'LAW' (not 'MAIN').
852 $c : Location in Alma - open form editor and select appropriate Law location code from drop-down menu.
Refer to the [*Add link to updated Alma Location Code & Rubric Table*] ; codes beginning with "law..." ; See supervisor if any questions.
Law Reserve (‘law-res’) is no longer treated as a permanent location, only a temporary location. Confirm Holdings record 852 $c location code = ‘law’ (Watch for Holdings incorrectly coded as ‘law-res’) ; Law staff later create the item record and assign a temporary location code of ‘law-res’ as needed. Pass along any paperwork to notify Law staff of item being designated for Law Reserve. [*Policy & Law workflow to be reviewed post-Alma migration*]
Do NOT barcode or create item record. Law staff handles all their own full processing, including the creation of item record, printing & affixing Law call no. label, Law "Priestly" barcode, "UVic Law" red gutter stamp, etc. If an item record was already created by Acquisitions, leave as is, with blank Barcode field & alert Law staff on paperwork.
Leave book jackets on the material for Law staff review. (Law may choose to trim & affix book flap information)
Write the call no. in pencil in the upper left hand corner verso title page, and the Bib no. in the center-to-right hand corner. If verso t.p. is too crowded, then use the pre-t.p. or inside front cover as needed. [*Policy & Law workflow to be reviewed post-Alma migration*]
Refer to the [*Add link to updated Alma Location Code & Rubric Table*] ; codes beginning with "law...". ; See supervisor if any questions.

Room171 (aka law res-171 in Alma) was created to house law's course reserve materials as well as high-use and some loose leaf materials.
Course Reserve material - now placed on course reserve via Reserves - is no longer located in this room. With migration to Alma, records with law-res171 location will be updated and references to RESERVE will be removed.
The rubric "Rm171" was created for this location in January 2023.
See the format instructions for how to catalogue music scores, sound recordings, and video recordings.
See the processing instructions for information on physical handling.
Note that the music collection, including monographs and serials, was once located in a separate physical location called Music & Audio (and later Music & Media) within the McPherson Library. Most M-MT classed monographs and serials still have an "ma" holdings location, though they have now been integrated into the main stacks. (With Alma update: ma location changed to main location?)

mm,srec | LPs - smaller than 12 inch disc |
Reserve:
In 2021, Reserve staff physically relocated to sit within Rm260 to be part of the Copyright and Scholarly Communications team under Collection Management. While reserve material is now processed within Rm260, the physical material continues to be situated in the Access Services area on the main floor.
Rush Reserve material: Place all newly catalogued (or shelf-ready) Rush Reserve material in the labelled box on top of the short shelves in the Reserve area of Rm260 (behind the Serials mail table). Reserve staff will collect from the tray and handle the end-processing for Reserve.
Basement Compact Shelving (BCS):
Located here are all Z classed material; some oversized material, national union catalogues, all HA741-HA743 Stats Can material; some monographic material with a temporary location of "basement compact shelving"; serial runs and other material that could not be accommodated elsewhere, etc. All material located in BCS that is not Z classed must have a blue dot affixed on or near the call number label. This blue dot acts as a rubric for material located here.
"Z" classed material: this material is given a holdings location of "main"* (and not "main,sto"). [*to be confirmed]
A blue dot is not affixed.
Items ordered for the "tec" location are meant to support the work of librarians and staff working in the Technical Services area of the library. The bulk of this tec material is physically located within the Technical Services area on shelving outside the office of Head, Metadata. On occasion, items are ordered for this location, but are then routed to a librarian or staff situated in another area of the library. Current best practice is to add a non public note to field 852 of the holdings record indicating with whom or where the item is routed or situated. Items located in "tec" should always be suppressed, labelled FOR USE IN LIBRARY ONLY and coded with the item type of "nocirc".
Glenda
Reference: May 2022- "Ref" as a physical and holdings/item location is currently in transition. Material with a holdings location of "Ref" is currently located in Basement Compact Shelving. This physical "Ref" location in BCS is temporary and the records have not been updated in anyway to reflect this. Follow signage in Basement Compact Shelving to locate the physical material. Route all "Ref" material to a Metadata supervisor.
Ready Reference: As of May 2022, its physical location is situated outside of the librarian "on duty" office on the main floor in the maps and atlases area.
Its rubric is "Ref". Current practice is to affix a "Ready Ref" label to all material located in here. (A small red dot was once affixed to the call number of ready reference designated material. This "red dot" was incorporated into the label when use of the red dot ceased.)
Glenda/Susan
The Curriculum Library was previously its own separate branch located in the MacLaurin Building. The branch was later closed, and the Curriculum Collection has now been absorbed as a designated section within the Main Collection, on the 2nd floor of the Mearns-McPherson Library. All resources designated for the Curriculum Collection are classified using the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) System.

The British Library's English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC) is a union catalogue recording holdings for more than 2,000 libraries world-wide. It covers monograph and serial letterpress items that are:
When cataloging a book published before 1801, search for the item in the ESTC database.
Compare the pagination, publisher, publication date, notes, etc. in order to determine if the item in hand matches the ESTC record.
If a matching record is found, add the ESTC Citation number to the bibliographic record in the 510 field.
Do not include leading zeros in the ESTC number. Example: record ESTC R019768 as: 510 4_ ‡a ESTC, ‡c R19768
Add a pink ESTC flag to the item to indicate to SC that there is an ESTC number in the record. Do not write the ESTC number on the flag.
SC will add UVic holdings to ESTC.
SC will let Metadata know if the ESTC number in the bibliographic record needs to be updated.
Example:
Metadata will add, when appropriate, RBMS (Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries) Controlled Vocabularies to bibliographic records for rare and unique printed materials in Special Collections.
Background
The RBMS vocabularies are developed and controlled by the RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee and provide a standardized vocabulary for the description of rare books by form, genre, and/or other physical characteristics including binding, paper, printing and publishing evidence, provenance evidence, and type evidence. These characteristics are of particular interest to some researchers and will aid in the discoverability of the unique and special aspects of the Special Collections rare book collection.
The Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) standards recommend the addition of RBMS terms for full-level records. In addition, many libraries, such as the American Antiquarian Society, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University, are already incorporating the RBMS vocabularies into their descriptive cataloguing of special collections.
As per the June 10, 2020 meeting minutes for the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Editorial Group, work is underway to publish these vocabularies as part of the Library of Congress Linked Data Service (id.loc.gov). The PCC also has this listed as Strategic Direction 5.2 for 2018-2021: “Institute a process for endorsing vocabularies for PCC use, developing best practices and documentation … [with] specialist communities (ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section …)”
The RBMS Controlled Vocabularies will be used for the following types of Special Collections printed materials:
- Books published/printed earlier than 1910
- Rare and/or limited edition books
- One of a kind books (i.e. artists’ books)
- Books with unusual and/or special characteristics (i.e. author’s autograph, bookplate)
- Books identified by Associate Director of Special Collections
Apply terms as appropriate and only if readily ascertainable.

In the past, all UVic publications were classified in LE3 Vxxx. This often created long cutter numbers, particularly with the second cutter, since they were cuttered by main entry (which was usually University of Victoria …).
Around 2002, the policy was changed so that publications are now being classified in the subject area rather than in LE3 (i.e. Centre on Aging bulletin classified in the “Aging” classification range) -- from Document written by SJ/2012, Classification & Cuttering of Serials.
(Policy confirmed October 2016 via email exchange with Jane Morrison, Associate University Archivist.)
Public lectures are delivered periodically at UVic covering a range of general interest topics. With the permission of the lecturer, UVic Television Services records each lecture. One copy is burned to a DVD and sent to Metadata in batches. If there is more than one format, we get a hard copy (disc) of each format. When the videos arrive in Metadata, they are arranged by date and given the next accession number for that year. Each years number sequence begins at no. 001.
AS OF JUNE 2018, Music & Media no longer wants a copy of the lectures.
Send one copy of each format (disc) to University Archives:

The material in the Division of Learning and Teaching Support and Innovation (LTSI) [formerly: Learning and Teaching Centre (LTC)] might also be referred to as the Judson Collection (named after an early staff member).
On Jan. 6, 2012, LTC brought over approx. 9 shelves of books. This formed the bulk of the collection at the time, but occasionally, they will send some new titles (which they purchase themselves) to add to their collection.
NOTE: In 2017, the name officially changed to Division of Learning and Teaching Support and Innovation (LTSI) from Learning and Teaching Centre (LTC)
