Manuscript folder labels look just like those from any other manuscript collection. They do not need to include the "POETRY *" designation. Boxed items are shelved with all other boxed collections on sub-basement. They are not included in the special "Blue Star" area of the stacks behind the cmii shelves that is designated for printed Blue Star material.

CALL NUMBER LABELS
A small percentage of collections are given printed book call numbers but are cataloged as if they were a manuscript collection and are end-processed by Manuscript end-processors. Normally the labels are identical to the abbreviated ones used for a manuscript collection, including only the call number, THE HOUGHTON LIBRARY, and the accession number.
There may be particular rules for the inclusion of the lowercase "b" in the call number on folders and box labels. Here are some samples that provide guidelines.
UPRIGHT
FLAT IN DOCUMENT BOXES AND SHELVED AT HOUGHTON
f *AC95.B5665.969c
Black Panther papers
The lowercase "b" for "boxed" does not precede the call number in this instance because the boxes are in a shelving area for upright volumes. The "f" shows that it is shelved with "folios" (on basement level). There is a space after the "f". Though in the past there often was no space.UPRIGHT IN DOCUMENT BOXES & SHELVED IN SCIENCE FICTION ROOM
b SF-133
In this instance the lowercase "b" means "boxed" rather than "broadside". The "b" was included as an aid for locating the material within this special room.

FC8.A100.873p
If this were a manuscript collection, the "b" would be retained on all labels because it appears as part of the call number in HOLLIS. Some in printed books, however, may omit the "b" boxed indicator for items going to HD, since they do not have a location at Houghton.
FLAT IN PF-SIZE BOXES
p FB9.A100.968p (1), etc.
This printed book collection is cataloged like a manuscript collection in that it has (item numbers) at the end (1), (2), (3), etc. The lowercase "p" is an indication of location and currently a space appears after it. But most of the other items, done before macros were used, do not include a space after the "p". So it is not crucial whether or not the "p" is done the old way or the new way. However, regular printed books end-processing uses the space after the "p".

STACK RANGE LABELS
In the past, the Stack Supervisor was in charge of producing and updating labels at the ends of the aisles where manuscripts are shelved. However, the end processor is in a position to assist with this process in the manuscript stack areas. Here is a sample label for the GEN and F ranges. Each range is now also labeled with its Building, level, and range number, provided by the manuscript end processor. (P2.1, P2.2, P2.3, etc.)
