 LC's official version of
 freely-accessible CSM, G 300 (rev., June 2014) is
 provided at URL:
    http://www.loc.gov/aba/publications/FreeCSM/G300.pdf

 although it lacks convenient internal hyperlinks
 present in Cataloger's Desktop.

 Hello
 Annie,

 The Classification and Shelflisting Manual is available in
 Catalogers Desktop, which is a subscription service.  I am
 not aware of a free version of that official Library of
 Congress manual.  However, TLC (The Library Corporation)
 maintains UNOFFICIAL documentation of the G300 Regions and
 Countries Table, which I have found to be consistent with
 the official G300 table maintained by LC.   THIS IS NOT
 THE OFFICIAL LC TABLE, but I find it useful:

 Numbers Tables G1548 - G9804?

 The Geographic Cutter Numbers Tables G1548-G9804 are to be
 used only for cartographic materials classed in G and
 nowhere else.

 Two tables are provided in the Classification and
 Shelflisting Manual:  Regions and Countries Table, G 300,
 and U.S. States and Canadian Provinces, G 302.  These may
 be used if there is no conflict with entries already in the
 shelflist.

 The subject heading for Southeast Asia was formerly Asia,
 Southeastern, and hence was given the .A785 Cutter in G
 300.  After the heading was changed (in 2005?), it was
 given the Cutter .S644.

 Hello,

 I would like to know when to use Geographic Cutter Numbers
 Tables G1548 - G9804?

 HD9016.A3-Z

 By region or country, A-Z

 Under each country:

 .x     Periodicals. Societies. Serials

 .x2   General works. History Including biography

 .x3A-.x3Z   Local, A-Z

 .x4A-.x4Z   By firm, etc., A-Z

 Example:

 HD 9016 A785 C43 2008

 Changing agrifood markets in Southeast Asia : impacts on
 small-scale producers

 Subjects:

 Produce trade--Southeast Asia.

 Farm produce--Southeast Asia--Marketing.

 Farms, Small--Government policy--Southeast Asia.

 Why A785 is the Geographic Cutter?

 In Geographic Cutter Number from this link http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/GCutters.pdf

 or G4114 from classweb online table, A785 is for Anderson,
 Michigan.

 It should be at least Southeast Asia which starts with S.

 Right? What table to check for this??

 Please give a link to check Geographic Cutter Numbers
 officially from LC.

 I appreciate the feedback. Many thanks in advance.
