Type

Type is necessary to classify items into categories. Such classification allows for more restrictive search parameters, facilitates computer responses, and eliminates voluminous message replies. (Users are required to include the Type Field in all inquiries, as hits will then be limited to those records that match the serial number and/or the owner-applied number and the Type Category.) Type coding will work if standard category codes are used. To achieve uniformity and eliminate confusion in the coding of items, an article type listing is included in the Code Manual. Type is required for Article File entries and inquiries.
