| G-GN Stacks Transfer | |
| Description: | In mid-July 2008, titles classed G-GN were transferred from Paterno-3 to Paterno-2. The catalog records for these titles were updated globally to reflect this change at approximately the same time for all call numbers of the item type "BOOK." Apparently the system cannot make this change for item type "PERIODICAL," so the home locations need to be done by hand, as does editing of the 852c field in the MARC holdings record for each serial title. |
