<p>Oh, that's no problem. I forgot I even asked :lol: <br>
</p>
<p>Most all of the books have ISBNs associated with them, and I've
tried doing an "update entry / all sources" and the Dewey Decimal
field has never gotten populated......</p>
<p>I'll be da.... It just hit me when you said that the LoC "can be
configured"... I never thought to look at the data sources in
settings. Dewey was not enabled by default. Once I clicked that
and ran the "update entry / all sources? and bam! Dewey Decimal
Code. <br>
</p>
Just overlook me... most people do :) I really appreciate the reply.
That is going to save me SO many headaches!

<p>I don't remember if I added it specifically or if it
was an original collection field, but I keep my books
organized in my library by the Dewey Decimal system. A
lot (most) of the books tellico finds do not bring in
that field. I was using <a
href="https://www.oclc.org/go/en/classify-discontinuation.html"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://www.oclc.org/go/en/classify-discontinuation.html</a>
to find the numbers manually, but that has been
discontinued. They link to an api now instead. I don't
suppose you ever considered adding that as a source,
have you? I know I am probably an edge use case (I
usually am) but.... Never hurts to ask</p>

<div>I'll take a look at the WorldCat API. It seems to need a
subscription or login from an educational institution, at
first glance.</div>

<div>THe Library of Congress SRU source can be configured to
return dewey, though I've not done significant testing. If
you have a book with an isbn, you might be able to update
from LOC and have the Dewey populate?</div>
