Elaine,
Thanks so much for your info! My other question is how does Evergreen
handle indexing of the call number assigned - the ultimate question being
how easily are those records found by patrons when they search.

Does Evergreen index the call numbers so a keyword search can be done?

Thanks!!
Trisha
