Chris, I have yet to come across a US library that is using this field- but I have heard that it is being used in European libraries - which is why the field is there - I assume - maybe someone who knows the history better can help you more. Nicole 2009/10/15 Chris Mueller <catsalsa@gmail.com>:
We would appreciate feedback on how libraries have used the "Street number" subfield of the "Main address" portion of the Patron record.
We have tried entering street numbers in the specified area and as part of the "Address" line. When entered in the specified area the number does not appear in the left column of the Patron Details display.
We are using Koha for a Books by Mail program and will need to generate mailing labels for book bags from the patron data. Is there any reason why the "Street number" *should* be entered into the separate subfield?
