- Sorry for sending this note again. The first time I used the wrong
- network mailer address.
-
- Just to let everybody know... there is a problem with Dewey call number
- indexing.
- One of our libraries reported that the call number error report was not
- showing errors when a Dewey call number starts with letter. Searching
- our system I found many call numbers coded as Dewey and indexed under
- Dewey but starting with alpha characters.
- NOTIS Inc. was able to duplicate the problem (PPR0043).
- We are a MVS shop with LMS 5.02, but NOTIS informed me that the problem
- also exists under LMS 5.1. They are working on a fix.
- Just when we thought we had the call number index cleaned up....
