[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Re: Call numbers in Evergreen

[Jason Boyer]

So I misread Copy Location as "on the copy record," so some of my argument
won't make much sense. I'm sticking to it for the catalog display though. It
doesn't seem like a good idea to have to go through the copy record to find
the copy location to then find the prefix if you want to do this for
multiple titles. (especially given "the internet's" attention span)
