[Yulcat-l] Item Record problem

[Ellen Jaramillo]

>colleagues---
>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 appearing on the Item Record without the word "Oversize" in the Call # 
>field.
>
>for an example, see Item Record#  6691032
>        the MFHD, HLDG#  7730316  has:    852 01 ‡b sml ‡h HQ1236.5.N5 ‡i 
> P76 (LC)+ ‡m Oversize ‡x (Mark by yrs./Bind)
>but the call# on the Item Record  (# 6691032)  displays as:  HQ1236.5.N5 
>‡i P76 (LC)+
>the "Oversize" is missing from the call# (and it needs to be there in 
>order to generate the correct call# for the labeling program).
>we've tried deleting the call# and re-keying, creating a diff 852 field, 
>re-entering/saving, etc., all to no avail.

>Integrated Library Technology Services (a.k.a. the Systems Office) has 
>been notified, and they are looking into the problem.

>in the meantime, members of the Catalog Dept. are asked to put aside any 
>oversize items and not send them to Preparations
>until we are able to rectify the call# problem.
>perhaps other cataloging units might consider holding on to their oversize 
>items as well, until this can be resolved.

>we'll continue to keep you informed.
>thanks, ellen jaramillo.
