Proposed Aleph Index Revisions 0705
The "view titles" functionality has been restored (it is not
currently functioning properly in the live catalog)
A problem with call number browsing of College Park theses and
dissertations (e.g., call numbers LD3231.M70d ..., LD3231.M70m ...,
etc.) has been resolved.
BC-BC STCK has been corrected and reindexed as BC-BC STACK
An OCM index has been created for OCLC numbers (e.g., search on
ocm=ocm01532874 OR ocm=01532874 is now available)
An index (WPS) of item processing status code has been created
(e.g., search on wps=cl is now available)
Normalization for correct call number sorting of the entries in
the SHL and SH2 call number indexes has been done. HOWEVER, this one
has problems, in that even though the call numbers are sorted
correctly now, the index truncates the display version of the entry
to 40 characters. This means the full call number is not visible in
many cases. :-( This makes us doubt that this can be implemented in
live; however, please examine this and give us your feedback.
