Definition | Library and Archives Canada uses field 055 for call numbers or class numbers assigned to the work in Canada. Library and Archives Canada uses the LC classification schedules with specially developed schemes for Canadian history, literature, and law. You may use field 055 if you are transcribing Library and Archives Canada copy. Field 055 may have numbers from the LC classification schedules, LC-type class numbers from Library and Archives Canada schedules, and incomplete class numbers. Follow incomplete class number with an asterisk (*) to indicate that the Cutter number varies from English to French. Library and Archives Canada currently does not use subfield ‡b . If you are transcribing Canadian Cataloging-in-Publication (CIP) copy, enter the LC or LC-type call number or class number in field 055. |

Printing | This section describes printing of Library and Archives Canada call numbers from field 055. See " 050–099 Introduction to Call Numbers" for more information. |
| | Field 055 prints on cards for libraries profiled for Library and Archives Canada call numbers. A new line begins for each blank space in the field. If the field has subfield ‡b the print program treats the subfield ‡b as a blank space for call number formatting. Subfield ‡2 does not print. If the data on the first line of the call number exceeds the call number width specified in your profile, your profile determines whether the main entry drops to the following line or you receive an error ( zc) card. | Displayed in record | Prints as | | PG3969 K37 ‡b S88 1980 | PG3969
