<div dir="ltr">Jane, are you referring to the 080 and 082 tags only? For other tags such as 028, 100, 245, 264, 300, a space before $b would cause some of us real problems. Like almost all public libraries, we use Dewey Classification, so unreadable call numbers aren't exactly an issue. Would putting the entire LC call number in the $a subfield and simply inserting spaces where you want them work?<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Lise</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 6, 2017 at 8:01 PM, Jane Sandberg <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sandbej@linnbenton.edu" target="_blank">sandbej@linnbenton.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi catalogers,<br>
<br>
I wanted to get your input on the following discussion:<br>
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1576727" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/<wbr>evergreen/+bug/1576727</a><br>
<br>
Specifically, would you prefer that, when you are creating a new<br>
volume and Evergreen suggests a call number, it:<br>
a) adds a space between the data it gets from subfields $a and $b from<br>
the 050/080/082 field?<br>
b) does not add such a space (current behavior).<br>
<br>
As a library that uses LC Classification, we'd prefer adding a space<br>
there, since LC call numbers get long and unreadable without it (and<br>
because Evergreen's normalizer expects a space). I haven't seen too<br>
many 080 or 082 fields that even use a $b, but I've only taken a<br>
cursory glance.<br>
<br>
Let me know what you think!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
