Add Normalized Call Numbers to eBook & eJournal Analytic Reports
Many academic departments ask for accreditation reports that count resources available for students. We typically use Library of Congress Call Number ranges from the OCLC conspectus to get counts of resources. The report runs well for all physical items. However, eBooks and eJournals (both ubiquitous to our collection) do not have normalized call numbers as a part of an analytics report. Therefore the counts of titles between a range of Call Numbers is not correct.

I am so frustrated with trying to pull these reports for our ebooks - it would be wonderful if Ex Libris would add a normalized call number field (LC) to the einventory subject area - just as they have done for the physical item subject area.

This would greatly improve analytics reporting.
