Why does no classmark appear in the title list, but one or more classmarks show in the catalogue record?
The title list simply shows the title or list of titles incorporating the words that you entered to be searched for. In order to get more information about the titles found, the catalogue record with full details can be accessed by double clicking on the appropriate title. The classmark is displayed here along with other details, to make finding the item easier. The Dewey Decimal Classification is used to classify our non-fiction books. If there is more than one classmark in the catalogue record, it may be that there is both a Dewey number and a local classification number. The local numbers are frequently used in specialist areas, such as local history or printed music. Other reasons for duplicate classmarks are largely historical. We are working towards uniformity, but it is a long job and will take some time to complete.
