[Koha] A simple question about Class

[Joann Ransom]

When we catalogue an adult book we just enter "597" in the class field. When we
catalogue a junior (or children's book) book on the same title we nter " J597"
in the class field. This indicates to the staff whether the book is in the main
adult library. or in the Junior library.
