[Koha] ًQuestions about 952 Field

[Hernandez, Heather]

Hi, Jesse--

I catalog on OCLC's Connexion Client, and use the "Text String" tool to set
up my most commonly used fields in the 952--it's really handy, and
generates my most commonly used 952 with a keystroke.  I've found that it's
faster to create the item records on OCLC with 952 fields & import it into
Koha, even when I'm cataloging a title with many items.

This is a typical 952 for us (we don't have separate branches, and use LC
call numbers):
ǂ2 lcc ǂa SFMARITIME ǂb SFMARITIME ǂc STACKS ǂy BOOK ǂo VM600 O8 1999 ǂh
v.1 ǂp 188336

Hope this is helpful!  Cheerio,
heather
