Time Nick Message 11:58 thd kados: Does this library have anything other than pamhlets? Would the call numbers for other material seem correct in the form 852$k$h$i$m? Where is $i for your example? 10:55 kados grrr 10:55 kados in which case it wouldn't be LOC 10:55 kados could be 10:55 owen I worked at a library that did that 10:55 owen But the PF 1042? I'm wondering if they don't use a special numbering system just for their pamphlets? 10:54 kados I should tool around on a university site to compare 10:54 kados well ... they said k, h m are prefix, main, suffix 10:54 owen Are you sure it isn't some kind of internal numbering system? 10:53 kados Subclass P is 'langauage and literature' 10:53 kados thing is ... Subclass PF' in LOC is 'West Germanic Languages' 10:52 kados yea ... that's what it comes out as 10:52 owen ? 10:52 owen PF 1042 10:52 owen Bible-Inspiration 10:52 owen Vertical File 10:52 owen So the call number label would look like: 10:51 kados but I don't know LC well enough to know if "Vertical File" is a valid prefix 10:51 kados 852$b is also some kind of format (itemtype) 10:50 kados 852$z is location 10:50 kados 852$m is call number suffix 10:50 kados 852$h is call number main 10:50 kados 852$k is call number prefix 10:50 kados 852$p is barcode 10:49 kados 852$6 is format 10:49 kados so at first glance 10:49 kados _mPF 1042 10:49 kados _820000226 10:49 kados _6Pamphlet 10:49 kados _zLocated in the periodical room. 10:49 kados _p4042 10:49 kados _hBible-Inspiration 10:49 kados _kVertical File 10:49 kados 852 _bVertical File 10:49 kados here's a sample: 10:48 kados right 10:48 owen But we just lumped everything together in classification 10:48 owen So for JNF 569.3 Fe, JNF is in one field, 569.3 in another, and Fe is in still another 10:48 kados let me paste in a sample record 10:48 owen I think the ideal situation is where each part of the call number is in a separate field 10:48 kados and LC control number too ;-) 10:47 kados and 'subclass' if it applies 10:47 kados I'm trying to understand 'classification', 'dewey', and 'location' 10:46 owen sure 10:46 kados owen: got a quick question for you if you're available 09:12 kados ahh ;-) 09:12 owen Here in The Plains?
