Call Number

Hi Wade,

I was just reviewing procedures and I have a question regarding the call number - If the call number appearing on the book does not match the bib record - we are to assume always that the book call number is correct?

Thanks,

Hi Marcia,

It's pure expediency. Accepting the call number on the book and updating Horizon is easier than re-labeling the book. Since we and the vendors are both using OCLC records, I don't think it will happen too often. (I'm hoping, anyway...)
