http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2691 ------- Comment #3 from nicole.engard@liblime.com 2008-12-16 11:19 ------- 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: BJ466 .S7 1986 Copy 1 BJ466 .S7 1986 Copy 2 BJ319 .A46 1989 Copy 1 Asian Japan BJ455 .B3S6 1986 vol.3 Copy 2 MRR Alc BJ455 .B3S6 1986 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 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
