This document applies to material in these languages:
- Arabic
- Urdu
- Farsi
- Hebrew
- All other material in languages that are read Right to Left.
The following guidelines should be followed when cataloging and marking an "Eastern Style" book:
- Hard cover books: Place an item label barcode in the usual spot on the inside of what would be back cover if the book was to be read from left to right, even though in reality this is the inside of the front cover for “Eastern Style” books.
- Pam binds: Place an item label barcode on the soft cover behind the plastic cover and not on the hard blue part of the cover. This is putting the barcode on the book itself instead of the binding and is different from the usual placement of barcodes on pam binds.
- Soft cover books: Place a piggyback barcode in the usual spot on the verso of the title page.
- Call number: Write the call number on page after the title page.
