| 12:13 | kados | thd: yep |
| 12:13 | thd: haven't tested it yet (other than to add that tag/subfield to the default MARC framework) | |
| 12:13 | it's in CVS and will be released in 2.2.4 | |
| 17:10 | yea ... | |
| 09:11 | hey owen | |
| 09:11 | owen | Hi |
| 09:11 | Lookit me, I'm online! | |
| 09:11 | kados | yay! |
| 09:11 | how's the speed? | |
| 09:12 | owen | Here in The Plains? Great! ;) |
| 09:12 | kados | ahh ;-) |
| 10:46 | owen: got a quick question for you if you're available | |
| 10:46 | owen | sure |
| 10:47 | kados | I'm trying to understand 'classification', 'dewey', and 'location' |
| 10:47 | and 'subclass' if it applies | |
| 10:48 | and LC control number too ;-) | |
| 10:48 | owen | I think the ideal situation is where each part of the call number is in a separate field |
| 10:48 | kados | let me paste in a sample record |
| 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 | But we just lumped everything together in classification | |
| 10:48 | kados | right |
| 10:49 | here's a sample: | |
| 10:49 | 852 _bVertical File | |
| 10:49 | _kVertical File | |
| 10:49 | _hBible-Inspiration | |
| 10:49 | _p4042 | |
| 10:49 | _zLocated in the periodical room. | |
| 10:49 | _6Pamphlet | |
| 10:49 | _820000226 | |
| 10:49 | _mPF 1042 | |
| 10:49 | so at first glance | |
| 10:49 | 852$6 is format | |
| 10:50 | 852$p is barcode | |
| 10:50 | 852$k is call number prefix | |
| 10:50 | 852$h is call number main | |
| 10:50 | 852$m is call number suffix | |
| 10:50 | 852$z is location | |
| 10:51 | 852$b is also some kind of format (itemtype) | |
| 10:51 | but I don't know LC well enough to know if "Vertical File" is a valid prefix | |
| 10:52 | owen | So the call number label would look like: |
| 10:52 | Vertical File | |
| 10:52 | Bible-Inspiration | |
| 10:52 | PF 1042 | |
| 10:52 | ? | |
| 10:52 | kados | yea ... that's what it comes out as |
| 10:53 | thing is ... Subclass PF' in LOC is 'West Germanic Languages' | |
| 10:53 | Subclass P is 'langauage and literature' | |
| 10:54 | owen | Are you sure it isn't some kind of internal numbering system? |
| 10:54 | kados | well ... they said k, h m are prefix, main, suffix |
| 10:54 | I should tool around on a university site to compare | |
| 10:55 | owen | But the PF 1042? I'm wondering if they don't use a special numbering system just for their pamphlets? |
| 10:55 | I worked at a library that did that | |
| 10:55 | kados | could be |
| 10:55 | in which case it wouldn't be LOC | |
| 10:55 | grrr | |
| 11:58 | thd | kados: Does this library have anything other than pamhlets? Would the call numbers for other material seem correct in the form 852$k$h$i$m? Where is $i for your example? |
