Search Tips:
- Searches are automatically truncated and retrieve catalog records
that match partial numbers: (8900011 retrieves "89000118",
"89000119", etc.). Note that partial numbers take significantly
longer to retrieve.
- Note that the format of the LCCN changed for numbers assigned
after January 1, 2001. LCCNs assigned since that date now have
a 4 digit year portion (2001) followed by a six digit item number
(001114). This number would be searched 2001001114.
-- Numbers assigned before Jan. 1, 2001, were NOT changed to the
new format, and should still be searched in the two digit year,
6 digit item number format (89000456).
