Call Number Item Statistical Classes (Call ISTATs)

Horizon comes with default call number item statistical classes (call ISTATs) already assigned to Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress call number groups.

If you want to, you can update the default call number ISTATs, or add additional ISTATs to break down the call number groups into more specific categories

To keep call number ISTATs grouped together in alphabetical lists, the default call number ISTATs follow these naming conventions:

Dewey Decimal call number ISTAT codes begin with the letter “z.”

Library of Congress call number ISTAT codes begin with the number “1.”

Before you begin, check your default call number ISTATs to determine if you want to update any of the defaults, or add additional call number ISTATs.
