- OFFICE MEMO NLM & LC call numbers Date:12/22/92
- All branches currently on our INNOPAC use LC classification. LC call numbers
- are in MARC fields tagged 050 in either the Bib or item record. Shortly, we
- will be adding 2 branches that use NLM classification. In preparation, III has
- added an NLM classification index that will be derived from item record call
- numbers in a MARC field tagged 060. Our future branches' call numbers QS thru
- QZ and W thru WZ will go in our NLM classification index. My question is where
- do we put LC classification numbers used by branches using NLM classification,
- eg. BF, HV, U, V? Should these LC-like call numbers be placed in the NLM
- index, thereby keeping all of our new branches' call numbers in one index? Or,
- should the LC-like call numbers be placed in the LC index, thereby keeping all
- like call numbers in one index?
-
- Does anyone know what happens with the SCAT table if LC-like classification
- numbers are placed in an NLM classification number index? Does the SCAT table
- work with 2 call number indexes?
-
- Are there any other problems I should look out for?
-
- If replies are made to me personally, I will be happy to summarize them to the
- list.
