Previously, mini books were cataloged with their own location in Fine Arts Limited Access. This practice ceased August, 2012.
Current practice: miniature items should be sent to Preservation for casing. Once returned, barcode the item once on the case, note 2 parts in the item record, and set the location to where you would place the book normally (carn, bird,p, etc.) end processing prints duplicate labels and duplicate barcode for miniature items, then send them to preservation for casing. These items do not come back to cataloging, preservation send them for shelving. There is no special location for minis.
