Please allow a way to show whether the item is a Book, Film, Fiche, or CD-ROM in the call number. For example, '''FHL Book 973 X2Lai''', or '''FHL Film 203621'''.

:Thank you for commenting. The plan is to allow those at an absolute minimum. Do you have an example of CD-ROM? I know the microfiche have numbers just like the microfilm. I have requested an extension that will make some of this easier. I have wondered if a need exists for locality look-ups, showing summary vs. details, etc. [[User:Thomas Lerman|Thomas Lerman]] 14:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC) | :Thank you for commenting.

Please change the plan. Users need to know if it is a book or a film or a pedigree, etc. Otherwise, only experienced users will know. It will only take a few more letters to accomplish this, if space is the problem. I echo David Dilts request. [[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 00:38, 15 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
:I am definitely willing to do something such as do that if the second parameter is used (book, film, etc.) unless you know of another way. I have discussed this with one of the librarians and they indicated it is not necessarily always the same according to how I thought it would work. For example, I thought: | |||
:*If it starts with "no. ", it is a pedigree | |||
:*If it starts with "CD-ROM no. ", it is a CD | |||
:*If it contains a space (not one of the above), then it is a book OR pamphlet OR map (I do not know how to tell the difference). | |||
:*Otherwise, it MIGHT be a film OR fiche | |||
:I believe this covers everything. [[User:Thomas_Lerman|Thomas_Lerman]] 00:53, 15 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
