[Koha] LCCN, group

[Bigwood, David]

William,

The MARC documentation is on-line at:
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ecbdhome.html
Also useful is the Tag of the Month archive at:
http://www.fsc.follett.com/resources/tagofthemonth/index.cfm

TK5105.888. D35 2000 is the Library of Congress Classification number. The
1st part goes into field 050 subfield a, D35 2000 goes in subfield b. If you
use that as your call number it may also go in field 852, which contains
local copy information.

005.7'2 --dc21 is the Dewey Classification number. The 1st part goes in
field 082 subfield a. dc21 specifies which edition is being used and goes in
subfield 2. If you use Dewey for your call numbers it would also go in field
852.

The - is dropped from the LC Control number when it is entered in field 010.

Sincerely,

Hi!

I'm not a librarian so I don't know which is which...

I'm entering items into the system (2.0pre2) with simple aquisition and
was wondering about the LCCN field.

Eg. a book:  Consumer-Effective web sites by Jodie Dalgleish
inside the book I can see:    ISBN -0-13-087827-8
and more numbers underneath:    TK5105.888. D35 2000
                    005.7'2--dc21                00-029128

Looking it up in the Library of Congresss online catalog, I understand
that   TKxxxx is Call Number  while  00-029128  is LC Control Number.

If LC Control Number goes into the LCCN field, which field can I enter
the other info (Call Number)?

How about 005.7'2 --dc21 ?   Would this be the Dewey number and if so,
how should this be entered?  Is there any part which goes into the Dewey
sub?

Lastly, how do I make use of the Group when adding items into the
system?


Thanks!

God bless you.
William

  I don't blame Congress. If I had $600 billion, I'd be irresponsible
too.
