Overview of the DEWEYCLASS_VW view in Voyager Prepackaged Access Reports

Question

Brief overview of the DEWEYCLASS_VW view in Voyager's Prepackaged Access Reports.

Answer

There’s an entry in the DEWEYCLASS_VW view for every call number encoded as Dewey (MFHD 852 first indicator = 1) even if that encoding is wrong. CLASS is the first 3 characters of 852$h. LONGCLASS is the entire 852$h.

To add a description of each Dewey class to your queries, link the class field in DEWEYCLASS_VW to the DeweyNum field in the DeweyDetailed table and show the Description field.
