[Evergreen-catalogers] Classification Scheme Question

[Mike Rylander]

Hi Will,

Each scheme has a different set of rules for normalization and sorting of
the call number strings, so telling Evergreen which scheme is intended for
a particular call number lets it apply the correct rules and, to the extent
possible and meaningful, to logically interfile call numbers from different
schemes.

HTH!

Regards,

Mike Rylander
