Shelf List Report (Report-Items)

Shelf List is a report program (Report-items) to read through bibliographic database, Holdings and items, and to provide information on items. It is similar but more powerful to that of CARL Shelf List report in providing more sorting options, and more available fields for listing.

Report description

Shelf List Report program utilizes data from Aleph Z13 (short bibliographic record), Z00 (HOL), and Z30 (items). Z13 (short bibliographic record) contains up to six fixed (system defined) fields, including year, call no., author, title (up to 100 characters), imprint and issn-isbn. Z00 (HOL) includes information of doc number, sublibrary, collection, and call number. Z30 item records include information of an item's sub-library, collection, location, call no., material type, item processing status, enumerations/chronologies, etc. Shelf List Report lists out information about items that can be sorted by system number, by sublibrary/location/call number, or user defined sorting options. The report listing can be a combination of any of the information available in Z13, Z00 and Z30. The only limitation would be the number of characters (about 100) per line to avoid line wrapping.

Selection criteria - any or a combination of Z13, Z00 and Z30:
