Hi, all-- Pamela--I'm glad I'm not alone in my peculiar workflow! ::high-five!::
And, Fred, Koha's breaking of lines in odd places is exactly why I just copy the call number from the 050/090 field into the into the 952 $o on the OCLC Connexion Client record, remove the $b & full-stop & correct the spacing, then I copy that reformatted 952 $o call number & paste it into an MS Word template and add correct line breaks for printing. When I fill the MS Word template of spine/item labels, then I print out the sheet & put that sheet with the items for processing. For serial issues, we copy the call number from the item record in Koha & paste it into the MS Word template & add correct line breaks. I don't know if it's possible to replace any of this workflow with MarcEdit since MarcEdit is an unnecessary component of my workflow--I need to get our holdings into OCLC for ILL purposes & need to get our holdings into Koha, so I try to eliminate any other interfaces in that workflow. If there were a system preference where I could tell Koha where to insert line breaks into LC call numbers so I could just copy, i.e., this into the MS Word template (actual example--not made up): G 4362 S22 P5 1859 U5 1859b That would rock! And, IMO, anyone who catalogs is a "real cataloger"--sure, we differ in how long we've been cataloging, & how & how much we've learned, but anyone who catalogs is a real cataloger to me.
