colleagues---<br>
members of the Catalog Dept. have been recently noticing that LC call
numbers for oversize items, correctly formatted in the MFHD's 852 field,
are <u>appearing on the Item Record without the word
"Oversize"</u> in the Call # field.<br><br>
for an example, see Item Record# 6691032<br>
the
<font color="#0000FF">MFHD</font>, HLDG# 7730316
has: 852 01 ‡b sml ‡h <font color="#0000FF">HQ1236.5.N5
‡i P76 (LC)+ ‡m Oversize</font> ‡x (Mark by yrs./Bind) <br>
but the call# on the <font color="#FF0000">Item Record</font> (#
6691032) displays as: <font color="#FF0000">HQ1236.5.N5 ‡i
P76 (LC)+ <br>
</font>the "Oversize" is missing from the call# (and it needs
to be there in order to generate the correct call# for the labeling
program).<br>
we've tried deleting the call# and re-keying, creating a diff 852 field,
re-entering/saving, etc., all to no avail. <br><br>
Integrated Library Technology Services (a.k.a. the Systems Office) has
been notified, and they are looking into the problem.<br><br>
in the meantime, <b>members of the Catalog Dept. are asked to put aside
any oversize items and not send them to Preparations<br>
</b>until we are able to rectify the call# problem.<br>
perhaps other cataloging units might consider holding on to their
oversize items as well, until this can be resolved.<br><br>
we'll continue to keep you informed. <br>
thanks, ellen jaramillo. <br><br>
