--- Comment #7 from Phil Ringnalda <[email protected]> ---
Okay, I see the path out of here. Even though a feature that's been broken for
14 years without anyone filing a bug about it seems like a sign to just remove
it, we should probably leave it in and fix it, so the hypothetical sales
manager doesn't have to face the question from a public library about why we
only have an LC call number search and no Dewey search in the Z39.50 form, with
no idea what the answer is and an actual answer that wouldn't be understood by
anyone but a cataloger. C'est la vie, it's well below the fold where you have
to scroll down in the popup to ever see it, having it won't hurt anyone.

So, search the catalog -> Z39.50 should map callnum to keyword, because no
Z39.50 attribute exists to say "search this as an LC call number, a Dewey
classification number, a NLM call number, a NAL call number, and a UDC
classification number." It's a shame that bug 37167 exists and one term can
clobber another when they are mapped to the same field, but not blocking
because that already exists for title, author, and subject.

And the Dewey search should search Dewey, not LC, for the first time in its
life.
