> William, Koha works best with Dewey.  You'll probably want to map the

> 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

> 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

> call number if you don't want to use the whole thing.
