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.

William, Koha works best with Dewey. You'll probably want to map the actual number part of the Dewey number to Koha field 'dewey' in the biblioitems table. In the same table, you can map anything that comes after the number (the first few letters of an author's name is a common example) to the 'subclass' field in the same table. And if you have anything before the number (like 'J' for Juvenile, or 'LP' for Large Print), that can go in the 'classification' field. I believe that's the way Horowhenua Library Trust (http://www.library.org.nz) does it. In the case of Nelsonville Public Library, the actual call number used by the library was stored in a holdings tag, but in a 952 tag, not the 852 tag. Many ILS programs use the option of 9xx tags to store holdings information, because these tags are more flexible than the closely-regulated 852 tags. So at NPL (http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us) the entire call number was mapped to the 'classification' field as the data was migrated from the old system to Koha. I'm not sure how the call numbers at Unido (http://www.unido.org) are stored -- they may have used yet another method. One word of warning -- if you decide to map the call number from an existing holdings tag, you will need to split the existing tag into two tags, so you can map one to the items table and the other to fields in the biblioitems table. This isn't too hard to do with MARC::Record. By the way, the little ' in the Dewey number from LC (005.7'2) is not part of the number. It's an indication of the appropriate spot to truncate the call number if you don't want to use the whole thing. -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges@skemotah.com

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

Thanks for the detailed info. That should fill in the proper fields. The problem however is that since I'm using simple aquisition, the fields that come out when entering the data is only "partial", not the same as when one used MARC. So the Library of Congress classification number field is absent when in the simple aquisition mode. I guess I'll just wait for the stable 2.0 to come out and hope for the best. :-) God bless you.

Or you could add the field in to the template - we've done that for UNIDO - you could get them out of CVS if you're really keen Cheers Rachel_____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications WEBMISTRESS ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand Koha Open Source Library System http://www.koha.org
