General Information (excerpted from Subject Cataloging Manual: Shelflisting, G 63)
The Cutter number, or Cutter, is a combination of letters and numbers that follows the class number and is preceded by a decimal point.
This is not to be confused with the decimal number that may form part of the class number (such as QK477.2). The Cutter number is most frequently based on the first word of the main entry, usually the author's surname.
Examples:
Where double Cuttering is used, the second Cutter is sometimes known as the book or author number/Cutter, while the first is alternately the subject or class Cutter or, in the case of literature, the author Cutter.
Classification numbers may include a subarrangement consisting of a topical Cutter.
The topical Cutter, or its initial letter, is supplied by the cataloger.
The term Cutter is taken from the name Charles Ammi Cutter (1837-1903), who devised the Two-Figure Author Table in the closing years of the 19th
