Sherri,
    We recently finished a reclassification of our periodicals from the
Dewey system to Library of Congress.  We classify everything.  The
microform
materials are housed in a different area of the library.  There is a
designation on the label for M'fiche, M'film, etc.  If a periodical has
some
part of its holdings in microform, then the call number is the same, but
the
periodical call number label has a Per at the top, while the microform
call
number has the ddesignation mentioned above.  Each piece of fiche is in
a
paper sleeve with the call number on it.
