7000 numbers

If a reader brings you a record with a 7000 control number on it, chances are very very great that the date they want is not here. Cards describing these "special" collections are filed in front of Alabama in the card catalog on the bound side of the Circulation Desk.

7002. Miscellaneous American newspapers recording the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt. This file contains 613 titles with single issues. We have holdings for April 1945 only. Most of these titles have cataloging records in the OPAC, with absolutely no holdings, and deceptive descriptions (like the one for the Los Angeles Angeles Examiner); "60 v ... Vol 1, no. 1 (Dec.12, 1903)- Jan. 7, 1962." These "descriptions" make it look like we have a complete run of the title. We do not. Other 7000 collections include:

7001. "71 single issues of negro newspapers published in various parts of the country."

7000. 67 single issues of "anniversary and miscellaneous special numbers."

But it is the 7002 collection you'll most often encounter.
