Yeah, we cant use these variables in the templates, as what is in them is controlled by sysprefs, ie itemcallnumber is going to be empty unless people are using item level callnumbers item-level callnumbers are really the only valid type of callnumber, since callnumber refers to shelf location and bibs don't have shelf location. There's a separate concept of 'classification' that can appear at the bib level, but it's really not used very much in

Its a tricky one as Nicole says, some libraries use dewey and LC .. so we need to display both. The fields dewey and classification don't exist anymore, we now have:
itemcallnumber (combined full call number at the item level) and we have cn_source and cn_sort (for sorting rules based on the cn_source value as defined in Administration->Classification Filing Rules) At the bib level we have biblioitems: cn_source cn_class cn_item cn_suffix cn_sort dewey and classification no longer exist and should be replaced at the bib level with a concatenation of cn_item . cn_item . cn_suffix and at the item level with itemcallnumber.

As far as I can tell, call number handling is generally broken in 3.0, with no realy standard for how to display call numbers. Some templates use <!--TMPL_VAR NAME="itemcallnumber" -->, some use <!--TMPL_VAR NAME="classification" -->, some use <!-- TMPL_VAR name="dewey" -->.
Which is correct, or is there a better way to handle call numbers in a more generalized way?
