Why doesn't the call number on the MARC record I received match the call number on the label our vendor supplied?

  • WorldShare Collection Manager

Answer

To ensure the call number in your library's MARC record matches your provider's, choose the option to retrieve the call number for items through cataloging partner options.

This can be done in WorldShare > Metadata > Institution Settings > MARC Records > Customize Records. You will need to add a field for call number - for example, a 949 $a field.

You can then select Cataloging Partner Data from the dropdown menu and select Call Number.
