Book citation request
Hi everybody. I have a request for postings that have a book
citations: Please include the Library of Congress Cataloging In
Publication (CIP, or "sip") number found with the publication data inside
the book. This is the call-numbering regime used by my library for
shelving and to request books from other libraries. (The ISBN number is
only good for people looking to _buy_ a book, something I will not do until
I have examined it beforehand, and my library, at least, cannot or will not
cross-reference.)
There is a standard recognizable pattern for these numbers, in case
you aren't familiar with them. (And for dinosaur/paleontology books they
almost always start with QE862.) An example would be
THE DINOSAURIA QE862.D5.D513
Thanks.
