example this year's will be R 050 SPE 2007 Ours is called the Spectrum

I catalog mine as REF 031 and place them in the reference section as
non-circulating books. Hope this helps.
I have cataloged mine as a serial. They are located in call number
371.805. DDC22 lists that as Students...Serial publications. Mine
don't circulate since it is the historical record of the school. But
they certainly show the years of love and giggles by the wear and tear
on them. Starting this year school year, I am getting two. One for
laughs and giggles and one for archives.
My biggest complaint about yearbooks is they are always titled the same.
So I decided I would call one thing whether it was that or not.
Pulling on my cataloging memory you could use the Tables portion of
Dewey and get a number for your local area and use that number. Perhaps
there are other methods used but that is what I would do. I would either
put in it in the 900"s (local history) or in the 300's (culture).
Robin, I catalog our yearbooks going back to the 1950's (and just rec'd
one in very poor condition from 1942). I have a few from the 1950's,
none from the 1960's, a few from 1970's and most from 1980's through the
current year. I'll have to check on Monday to let you know what the
call number is (it's in the 300's...and think 370's). I have mine in
the Professional section...and try to keep two copies of each one. We
do not allow them to circulate since they cannot be replaced. They are
tagged and barcoded like regular books so I can pull up which ones we
have.
I've catalogued mine yearbooks as a periodical -- very simple cataloging
with a brief MARC. (I am a copy cataloguer for almost everything.)
That way, I have barcodes on the books, and I can keep track of them if
they get removed from the library. (Actually, I they are in closed
stacks and must be checked out to even be used in the library.) Hope
this helps.
We catalog our yearbooks as "serial publications" - It's 050.

You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where
people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of
employing wild animals as librarians.
