Changing call numbers

Table of Contents

There are a few areas in the web client that allow you to initiate item call number changes.

  • In the Staff Catalog > Bib Record > Holdings View tab
  • In the Staff Catalog > Bib Record > Item Table tab
  • In Item Status.
  • On the Checkin Screen
  • In an Item Bucket

Each location has an Action option for editing the call numbers or holdings. Regardless of where you initiate the process, the Holdings Editor will open.

NOTE: If you have multiple barcodes under a single call number, you will want to click Edit beneath the barcode column if you only wish to change a single item. Otherwise, if you click on Edit below the Call Number/Item Notes column, it will show all of the barcodes.

When the Holdings Editor opens, make any edits within the Call Number Label field. When finished, click Apply All, Save & Exit to update the item. The Holdings Editor will close. Holdings View will refresh automatically and show the item with the updated call number. 

Note #

If you select an item that shares a call number with multiple copies, changing the call number will create a new call number.
