This might be an obvious question, but we are in the process of installing Koha 3.0 but won't be going live with it for several months now. We are small library and still have to automate our system and scan, create marc records, and barcode all of our books.
Since these books are all already labeled I was hoping there was a way that Koha could be set to automatically generate call numbers based on our specifications (for example FICT for fiction plus the first 3 letters of the authors last name).
Is there a way to do this or do we have to manually go in and change each record to reflect how we want to call number to be displayed. You could create a plugin to do this based on something like your itemtype or something, and link it to the itemcallnumber field. This would require a bit of Perl and JavaScript coding, but it's pretty low barrier to entry.
