Hi,
Where are you saving your author cutter? Because I am trying to save author 
cutter and print it on spine label. But I am not sure where to save it. I found 
on internet that Cutter-Sanborn Three-Figure Author Table may conform to 
Library of Congress item number practice so I am saving it in 050$b. but I am 
unable to print it in spine label. Which name should I use in spine label 
preferences to print it there?? Also, I want to print year in spine label which 
is saved in 260$c and I am using <year> in spine label system preference but it 
is not getting printed there.
What should I do to print them??

Real catalogers are going to turn pale and have to sit down when they read 
this, but if you're in a small library, a lot of this doesn't matter as much as 
one might think. The library where I work has maybe 5000 books--I have more 
books at home.* If your library users can find the books on the shelves, it 
doesn't matter that the 060b field (NLM classification system, Cutter number) 
isn't perfect, or the 082 (Dewey) number doesn't go to all thirty five decimals.

My general rule of thumb: if you're part of the cataloging department, you need 
to be fairly careful. If you ARE the cataloging department (and the systems 
department, and half the reference department, and...), you can let a few 
things slide.

*And yes, someday I'm going to move the catalog from the MS Access 97 database 
to Koha.

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when 
there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.
