* Package name : liblibrary-callnumber-lc-perl Version : 0.10 Upstream Author : Bill Dueber <dueb...@umich.edu> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Library-CallNumber-LC/ * License : Artistic or GPL-1+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : utility functions to deal with Library-of-Congress call numbers Library::CallNumber::LC is mostly designed to do call number normalization, with the following goals: The normalized call numbers are comparable with each other, for proper sorting The normalized call number is a short as possible, so left-anchored wildcard searches are possible (e.g., searching on "A11*" should give you all the A11 call numbers) A range defined by start_of_range and end_of_range should be correct, assuming that the string given for the end of the range is, in fact, a left prefix. That last point needs some explanation. The idea is that if someone gives a range of, say, A-AZ, what they really mean is A - AZ9999.99. The end_of_range method pads the given call number out to three cutters if need be. There is no attempt to make end_of_range normalization correspond to anything in real life. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
