[Koha] Why Koha does not print slashes in the call number while printing spine labels.

[Indranil Das Gupta]

Hi all,

Quite often (new) Koha users find themselves stumbling while
attempting to print spine labels from within Koha. Typically when item
call numbers have a front slash "/" in them e.g. the call number
891.44 BAN/T gets printed out as 891.44 BANT.

This blog post looks into the topic of Koha "eating up" the slashes in
the call number, why it actually shows that Koha is being standards
compliant (to Library of Congress, OCLC) and what you can do about it

shared in hopes this will answer more than a few people's query on the topic
