Yes, Yale does. The originial Yale in-house classification scheme used
the number J18 followed by the artist's Cutter number, keeping all
monographs of artists, architects, sculptors, in one sequence, very much
appreciated by the Art School the Arts Library originally served.  When
Yale went to LC throughout the library system, we persuaded the Catalog
Department to preface the J18 number with N (the LC art class letter)
and thus kept the same sequence using NJ18 plus the Cutter number.

The original classification also used date of publication as the final
element in the class number, so that publications on an artist would
be together under his name, by date of publication.  This too has been
kept, for the most part.

This is a very brief answer; more detailed information, if needed, should
come from a full-time cataloger.  I was in part responsible for preserving
the J18-NJ18 arrangement, together with a long-retired member of the Yale
Arts Library staff.
