Hi guys,
Just as a reminder, if you're adding a magazine issue, do remember to fill in all ItemCats for the item; they're all important, as blanks or incorrect values for ItemCats can be seen both on monthly stat reports, and in the catalog's filters.
ItemCat1 is for the broad type of material. Monthly stats rely on ICat1 to tell you generally what's circulating at your library.
ItemCat2 is for the age group for the material. Monthly stats also rely on ICat2 as a secondary breakout, so that you could tell how many Adult books were checked out as opposed to Juvy books.
ItemCat3 is for if the material is Fiction or Nonfiction (or other). The catalog relies on ICat3 to allow for patrons to narrow their searches based on if they want books on (for example) how to knit, or cozy mysteries with knitting.
