Re: ADDENDUM: call number searching

[Cliff Glaviano <jglavia at bgnet dot bgsu dot edu>]

Jamen,

    My guess is that your call numbers are indexed from your bib record 
call numbers (090, 050, 099) and not from the item call numbers.   Second 
example shows call number lacking DVD in your Marc display.  My guess is 
that the DVD is a prefix in your item call numbers (|p or |a if that's even 
possible -- we use a lot of prefixes here, and they are not indexed if in 
|p).  We index our call numbers from the item record call numbers 
locally.  I am aware that call numbers from bib records have caused us some 
problems in OhioLINK (INNReach product) that III has solved for us.  I 
don't know what the work around is or if it will work in just the local 
system.

   All that to say ... your call number displayed seems not to be the call 
number indexed ... OK, but confusing ...

   Especially if it worked before silver for DVD, I'd give III a 
call.  It's probably something worth calling in anyhow since I hear you can 
do all sorts of nifty things in rapid update in Millennium ...
