cynthia, I can't help you but I can encourage you -- honestly, the call numbers alone (especially in LCC where the notation is not a strict hierarchy) are close to useless without the meanings. One might even make the meanings more visible than the call numbers themselves (bolder, placed first)... Go for it! Next: a smart phone app that reads books on a shelf and reports what the call numbers mean. I'd call it "Where the F am I, anyway?" kc On 12/3/13 6:35 PM, Harper, Cynthia wrote: > I'm thinking of trying to enhance the call-number browse pages on a > Millennium catalog with meanings of the classification ranges taken from > the LoC Classification database. > > http://id.loc.gov/authorities/classification.html > > a typical call-number browse page might look like this: > http://librarycatalog.vts.edu/search~S1?/cBX100.7.B632+1999/cbx++100.7+b632+1999/-3,-1,,E/browse<http://librarycatalog.vts.edu/search%7ES1?/cBX100.7.B632+1999/cbx++100.7+b632+1999/-3,-1,,E/browse> > > I'd like to intersperse the call-number listing with call-number range > meanings like > > BX100 - Christian denominations - Eastern churches > > Has anyone tried this?
