=Shelving=
Books and periodicals are shelved in the order of classification. This results in some things being out of alphabetical order (e.g.: Switzerland’s code is CH, which puts it far from where an alphabetical sort would file it). Dates BC are shelved before dates AD, in chronological order. Oversize items are placed on the top shelf as near as practical to their classification. Damaged items may be placed on the bottom shelf as near as practical to their classification, but it may prove prudent to remove these to storage boxes to minimize further damage.
