We received a question regarding what the classification scheme for call numbers actually does, and I was not entirely certain how to answer. I looked through the Evergreen documentation, and all I could find was that it "has an effect on call number sorting,"
but I am unclear on what that actually means. Is it a reference to searching by call number via shelf browse? Or something else entirely?</div>
