Thank you for submitting this idea. To be sure we fully understand the request, could you please specify which other MARC fields other than 050 and 090 you are asking to be added to the LC call number index? Thank you.

Hi. 1. Are you stating that you want a new “Resource Type”?
2. The definitions of the resource types are explained in the table titled “Rules Used to Create the Resource Type Field – MARC 21/KORMARC and UNIMARC” at https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Product_Documentation/010Alma_Online_Help_(English)/010Getting_Started/050Alma_User_Interface_%E2%80%93_General_Information/Searching_in_Alma#The_Resource_Type_Field
3. Do you want a new row in this table which would be as follows?
Archival materials. LDR pos. 8 = a
4. The table is read top to bottom and as soon as match is found it stops. Where in the table would you like this new row to appear?
5. How come the title of this suggestion states “LDR pos. 8 = a” but the comment from Feb. 2 also has “LDR pos. 6 = p”? We do not think “LDR pos. 6 = p” is a good idea. That is used for “mixed materials”. On the other hand “LDR pos. 8…An error occurred while saving the comment Dear all,
I'm looking at the details of this idea, and would like to make sure I understand the request here. You are asking for a new resource type that is effectively archival mixed materials, but will be called "Archival" (without detailing mixed materials) - is that correct?
Today, LDR pos. 6 = p is used for the "mixed materials" resource type, defined as:
LDR pos. 6 = p AND LDR pos. 7 = c.
Making this change would mean you will exclude Archival from the mixed materials resource type, meaning:
LDR pos. 6 = p AND LDR pos. 7 = c AND LDR pos. 8 = a -> Archival
LDR pos. 6 = p AND LDR pos. 7 = c AND LDR pos. 8 = !a -> Mixed materialsIn addition, LDR pos. 8 will be ignored for all other types of records, so archival information will not be reflected in the search for them - for example:
LDR pos. 06 = a AND LDR pos. 7 = c AND pos. 8 = a -> collection
LDR pos. 06 = e AND LDR pos. 7 = m,s AND pos. 8 = a -> map
etc.Am I understanding the requirement correctly? Would it perhaps be clearer to call the new resource type "Archival mixed materials"?
Thanks,

As changing the location of an item can impact work orders (not all work order departments can handle all items) - the alert is required and removing it could adversely impact libraries.
We did, however, identify an issue with this alert, which caused it to be shown also for changes that could not impact work order requests (Material Type, Item Policy, Description) - this was fixed in the March 24 release. Following the fix, this alert will no longer be displayed for changes that can't impact work order requests. -

An error occurred while saving the comment As part of NERS #7948, Add “Not contains” or “Not equals” to Alma Titles and Inventory Search Indexes Where "Contains" or "Equals" Currently Exist, we will be adding not operators as the comment below suggests.
Please note that, since Alma offers combined enriched bibliographic and inventory search index, and it is possible to search titles by inventory information, the behavior of queries which retrieve bibliographic titles using inventory indexes with NOT operators will be as follows: When searching with a lower-level index "not contains" or "not equals", the search will retrieve all results where one or more inventory entities match the query. For example, searching for titles with location "not equals" library A will retrieve a title with items in both library B and library A, as there is an item that matched the search query.
This behavior was agreed upon with the NERS representatives.
Dear all,
I'd like to update on the following enhancement planned for May 24 release:
Following the semi-annual indexing, data from $b of the following fields will be part to the following call number search indexes in the repository search:
LC call number: 050, 055, 090
Universal Decimal Class Number: 080
Dewey Decimal Class Number: 082, 092
Other Classification Number: 084
Please let me know if this answers this request, or if you were referring to other MARC fields.
Thanks!
