The records I bulk imported had this 942:  =942  
\\$2lcc$cEBK<file:///\\$2lcc$cEBK>

So, if biblioitems.cn_sort was going to be generated by Koha the way 
items.cnsort is generated it should be populated?

Guess I’ll be doing item records, after all.

Thanks!

Lezlie-
I generally don't ever populate the biblioitems callnumber fields.  I'm 
wondering also if those fields are holdovers from a previous version of Koha.  
The itemcallnumber, classification and cn_sort values I work with are all in 
the items table.
If the biblioitems.cn_sort value is to be populated it would also need to know 
the schema in the 942$2 ddc/loc/etc.

Anyone else populating these fields in biblioitems??

Yet another instance of retroactive clarity.

I am looking at the biblioitems table in Administration/Koha to MARC mapping.

I did not have a value 942|6 in my 942 import field.

If I had populated 942$6 with my 050 tag contents, would Koha have created the 
sortable version and populated biblioitems.cn_sort?

Thanks!

Subject: [Koha] Biblioitems table

We just imported our collection into our new Koha installation.  It went really 
smoothly.

Based on the schema, though, I was expecting to find a sortable call number in 
biblioitems.cn_sort.  Since we don't circulate any materials, I didn't create 
any items.  Is there something I needed to set or map to populate this field 
when I redo the import?  Or, should I just add item information?

Thanks,
Lezlie
