Penn State University Libraries - Shelflisting in WorkFlows

In WorkFlows, the most equivalent result to shelflisting, as we know it, can be achieved by using the List the Catalog by Call Number Helper.

Read the description of the Helper below from the WorkFlows Online Help, then see the example following it.

List the Catalog by Call Number Helper

The List the Catalog by Call Number helper is used to display all of the call number records in your library's system that share the same call number or portion of a call number. This feature is useful when assigning call numbers and finding materials using specific class numbers.

You may display the catalog by call number at any time when using the wizard. Enter the call number or portion of call number that you want to search in the Start List With field. Do not enter any truncation symbol for a call number portion, but be sure to properly capitalize and punctuate the call number you enter. Any call number that includes the text will be retrieved. The records that are retrieved may not be displayed in call number order.

Example:

If you listed the catalog for call numbers including KF4, a sampling of call numbers would be listed in the following order.

KF410 .K9
KF4114 .D76
KF418 .A22
KF4546 .S9
KF49 .L54

Note: To browse only your own library collection in shelflist order, browse by call number using the Item Lookup.

After a list is retrieved, you may select to view the bibliographic, volume, and copy information, look up another call number, or close the helper.
