We recently added a Manual note at T3C—3 Arts and literature dealing with specific themes and subjects with a link (http://oc.lc/t3cmappings) to an updated table of mappings from the Dewey schedules (001-999) to the corresponding notation in T3C—3. The table of mappings is intended to be a last-resort help for topics not indexed to T3C—3+ in the Relative Index.
If the topic is Animals, for example, there is no need to consult the table of mappings because of the Relative Index entry:
Animals—arts T3C—362
But what if the topic is emigration and immigration, or more broadly, migration? None of those terms is indexed to T3C—3+ in the Relative Index. For each of those terms, however, the interdisciplinary number is 304+:
Emigration 304.82
Immigration 304.82
Migration 304.8
In the table of mappings is a line with 304 in the DDC # column and 3552 in the Table 3C—3 column:
| DDC # | Heading | Table 3C—3 |
| 304 | Factors affecting social behavior | 3552 |
Hence notation T3C—3552 Sociology and anthropology should be considered for a work about migration in arts and literature. In the record for T3C—3552, many sociology and anthropology topics are drawn off to other Table 3C numbers, but migration is not one of those topics. Examples of works for which T3C—3552 may be used are:
Mobility and migration in film and moving-image art: Cinema beyond Europe
791.436552 (built with 791.436 Special aspects of films and T3C—3552 Sociology and anthropology)
Migration and literature in contemporary Europe
809.933552 (built with 809.933 Literature dealing with specific themes and subjects and T3C—3552 Sociology and anthropology)
