Re: [IUG] clarification: bib vs. item call numbers

[Diane Paldan <ad1985 at wayne dot edu>]

You need to discuss the reasons for call no from bib preference with 
someone from III.  We have call numbers in item records. In doing call 
number searches from OPAC you may not like display (Although patrons don't 
do that much).  Be sure III explains pros and cons of two placements before 
you decide.
