From bryan.baldus at quality-books.com Mon Jun 16 14:09:29 2008 From: bryan.baldus at quality-books.com (Bryan Baldus) Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:09:29 -0500 Subject: [Classweb-users] QA76.3.LCC-DDC correlations Message-ID: In ClassWeb's "LC Classification/Dewey Classification Correlation Search: All Records", QA76.3. (with period at end) correlates only to "005.44769 (109)" However, looking through LC's database, I find many records, at least some of which seem like they should count towards the correlation count (full LC records), with different Dewey numbers--621.39/16/076, 004.16, etc. (and I don't see a correlation listing for QA76.3 without a period after the 3).

Those errors have been corrected in the bibliographic records. The next time the correlations database is updated, the inaccurate correlations should disappear.
