Hi, All -- We're using Terry Reese's new MarcEdit plugin to update records in Koha and I'm unclear on how we should be handling the 952 $6 subfield (normalized classification for sorting). Further info about the plugin here: http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/blog/archives/1135 Specifically, if we update the 952 $o (call number) using the plugin, will the $6 be automatically updated? For example, when correcting records we could do any of the following: 1. $6A_FIC_RU$oA FIC RUN -- leave incorrect $6 and update $o only 2. $6A_FIC_RUN$oA FIC RUN -- fix both incorrect $6 and incorrect $o 3. $oA FIC RUN -- delete incorrect $6 and update $o Any thoughts on which of these approaches is preferable? 1 and 3 assume that Koha will update $6 based on the new data in $o. Thank you, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH Life is short. Read fast!

As long as the call number is supplied, Koha will recalculate items.cn_sort, so either 1 or 3 will work.
