What is a pressmark (call number) and where can I find it?
A pressmark (call number) is a sequence of numbers and letters identifying a sheet music, book or recording, located:
– in card catalogues – in the upper corner of the card,
– in the Main Catalogue in the “copies” tab,
– on the cover of a sheet music copy, book, recording.
Answer
What do the letters in the pressmark (call number) mean and do I need to include them when placing an order?
The letters are an essential part of the pressmark – they must always be included. They mean:
– for sheet music:
m. p. – small score,
d. p. – large score,
m. o. – orchestral material
l. ch. or m.ch. – choral literature,
– for recordings: type of media, e.g. CD, DVD, K (cassette tape); a pressmark without letters indicates a recording on a vinyl disc.
Answer
What does the red frame around the pressmark (call number) on the catalogue card and sheet music cover mean?
The red frame around the pressmark means that a given copy cannot be borrowed, but can only be used in the Reading Room or during classes – provided that a valid student or doctoral student ID card is left instead.
Answer
