Appropiate field for Spanish "Depósito Legal"

iagogv · 2026-07-21T12:11:45+00:00

Books and other items have in Spain a "Depósito Legal" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_deposit). Is Call Number the appropiate field for it?

Or is it better Loc. in Archive?

Thanks!

I wouldn't put it into Loc. in Archive which typically indicates an archival copy of unpublished (or not formally published, in the case of dissertations) work.

Call Number is fine unless you need that for an actual call number.
How exactly does this look? Will it appear in citations? -- I've never seen this cited and the Spanish & English WP pages don't mention a specific format either.

Thanks for answering

What is an actual call number? Where is it used?

For example, for a regional official bulletin, it is C.494-1998

Will it appear in citations?

I don't know
