Emily — fixed. Thanks.

David — I need normalized call numbers to check for inclusion in High Level Browse categories, which have call numbers as start- and end-points. Virtual browsing is another possible application, though — I’ll have to stick normalized call numbers into our VUfind installation.

What are you working on? Is this a part of the “foundation for building an effective means to virtually browse the library’s collection“?

The first alphabetical characters can be 3 letters, not just 2. For example, KJA147 .M685 2007 (see http://www2.lib.ncsu.edu/catalog/record/NCSU2041714).
