>> 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 :-)!
