This from a cataloger who uses LC:


The LC Shelflisting Manual had some guidance on formatting call numbers.
I think there are often local variations. I don't know about DDC. You
might want to post this to AUTOCAT also.

Here's a website with some of the LC Shelflisting Manual:
http://staff.library.mun.ca/staff/toolbox/shelflst.htm

It was recently updated and combined with the classification manual:
http://www.loc.gov/cds/classif.html#csm

Library of Congress examples copy and pasted from Shelflisting Manual:

Copy 2

BJ319

Copy 2

BJ455

Suppl.
Copy 3
Sci RR

When volume numbering is necessary, use the abbreviated English
designations vol., pt., and no. for volume, part, and number (cf. G
615).

You can see that here we did not follow LC exactly. We drop
the numeric portion of the class number, for example:

BJ
466
.S7
1986
Copy 1
