Options

Change Title Call Numbers utility Options

Change Call #

No Change: Choose this option if you don't want to make any prefix changes.

Add prefix: Appends the new prefix entered into the Add field to the front of selected call numbers. If adding a prefix results in exceeding the 50 character limit, that call number will be skipped.

Remove prefix: Removes the text entered into the Remove field from selected call numbers. Additional spaces are removed as well if there are still characters left.

Replace prefix: Replaces the existing call number entered into the Replace field with the new call number entered into the with field. The Replace field isn't case sensitive (e.g. "fiC" would replace both "FIC" and "fic"). If replacing a prefix results in exceeding the 50 character limit, that call number will be skipped.

Match Title to Copy Call Number: Changes selected titles' call numbers to match the first copy's call number.

Note

Removing and replacing only affect the first word of a call number. For example, if the original call number is "FIC BIO," you could change "FIC" to "P" but not just "F" to "P." Also, you could change "FIC" to "P" but not "BIO" to "P."

Change Case

No Change: Choose this option if you don't want to make any case changes.

All Letters Uppercase: e.g. FIC BIO

All Letters Lowercase: e.g. fic bio

First Letter Uppercase: e.g. Fic Bio

Remove Slashes

When checked, this option will remove all forward slashes ("/").
