Chapter 3 Preparing to catalog your collection

49

If you want to use your call number prefixes to organize your collection by

subject matter, we recommend you run the Copies With Other Call Numbers

Report (see page 512) and address any copies in the report (change the prefixes

used by the copies or add them to the prefix list maintained in System Setup).
To access your call number prefixes, select the Call Num Prefixes tab from the

Cataloging tabs:

List of currently specified

call number prefixes

Deletes the selected call number prefix. If you delete a call number prefix, System Setup compares the

deleted item to the remaining prefixes. If it finds a prefix consisting exclusively of the first, or first and

second characters of the deleted prefix, it moves the circulation statistics to that prefix. Otherwise,

System Setup moves the circulation statistics relating to the deleted prefix to the OTH (Other) prefix.
Important: Prefixes included in the Custom sorting list (see page 51) can't be deleted.

System Setup assigns the following default prefix codes automatically:

S

OTHĊ(Other) used to track circulation statistics for copies that have a call

number prefix that is not defined in the Call Num Prefixes tab.

S

TEMĊ(Temporary) used to track circulation statistics for temporary copies

that are created during checkout.

Note:

You can neither edit nor delete the OTH and TEM call number

prefixes. You can only edit the description of a call number prefix you

have created.
