Re: [Koha] Dewey call numbers in MARC/Koha [IMPORTANT FOR ALL]

Thanks for clearing that up Paul.

BUT : most libraries uses dewey as call number. Thus the confusion made by so many librarians. And thus also the trick that you can use in Koha : Koha >> parameters >> system preferences >> catalogue >> itemcallnumber >> set (for example) 082c.

Now, all your (new) items will have automatically the dewey code as call number, that you can manually edit.

Note that for all existing items, you must modify them manually, sorry.

We're currently just experimenting, so modifying things manually isn't a big issue. We use Dewey for locating items on the shelf, so I'll use that Koha trick. Thanks again, Kevin -- Kevin O'Rourke ICT Coordinator, National Teachers' Institute, Kaduna, Nigeria 062 316972
