[Koha] Help with shelf browser and classification source

Tue Jan 19 11:19:31 NZDT 2021

Hi Inês,

for what we discussed in this thread earlier 942$2 is not important, but
the same field in the item record is: 952$2 which corresponds to
items.cn_source in your database.

Hope this helps,

Katrin

I have only found out about the setting DefaultClassificationSource a few days ago, and it is set as Dewey (I didn’t change it because I would rather change everything, including all 1000+ items, at once). On the administration menu > classification sources, I only have UDC as ‘in use’. What do I need to do to make sure all of Koha is using UDC?
