[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Accession numbers, copy notes and diacritics in call numbers

[Linda Jansova]

Hi all,

Three more questions to ask:

1) In the Czech Republic, libraries usually use accession numbers for 
individual copies. These are not accession numbers related to bib 
records but solely to individual copies. Is it okay to insert these in 
the "copy number" field in Holdings Maintenance? And if so, how can it 
be inserted during import? Can the staging table 
(http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=importing:holdings:import_via_staging_table) 
be used for this purpose?

2) In case we wish to record how a particular copy has been aquired 
(bought, received as a gift etc.), should we use "copy notes" (say with 
a locally standardized copy note title distinguishable from other types 
of copy notes)?

3) In case we use diacritics in call numbers, is there a way to make the 
Shelf Browser show first the particular letters letters without 
diacritics and then those with diacritics? E.g. to have the letter "Č" 
after the letter "C" instead of somewhere at the beginning of the 
virtual shelf? (We are especially interested in Czech alphabet - the 
correct order of letters is available at 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czech_alphabet.) Or maybe is it better do 
do without and use only call numbers with decent ;-) letters?

Thank you in advance for sharing any thoughts and ideas :-)!
