Thank you so much for sharing, Chauncey! Bravo for tackling this and holding on until you figured it out!

At the time, I was having no success, while the Evergreen report module was reminding me that I was a mere mortal. Well, after a little more work and helpful hints from the community I had success. I thought I'd post how I was able to run the report, since there has been some other questions circulating about this topic. My original trials were using the source "Flattened MARC Fields." However, I was not getting any results. I later switched to the source "Item," and pulled in the flattened MARC fields and it worked. Here is what I used in my report: Filters: Item :: Shelving Location - Location ID Item :: Call Number/Volume - Owning Library Item :: Call Number/Volume - Is Deleted Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bibliographic Record :: Flattened MARC Fields - Tag Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bibliographic Record :: Flattened MARC Fields - Subfield Display: Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bibliographic Record :: Simple Record Extracts - Title Proper (normalized) Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bibliographic Record :: Flattened MARC Fields - Tag Item -> Call Number/Volume -> Bibliographic Record :: Flattened MARC Fields - Subfield The final report gives me a simple list of titles with the 650 information for the specified shelving location. Wunderbar! Lessons learned: 1. Patience and persistence is imperative with reports (I need to be reminded of this often). 2. The Evergreen community rocks; thanks everyone for the suggestions. Hopefully this helps anyone else trying to build a similar report. CM -- Chauncey G.
