[Isis-users] RDA update

[Solomon Mutai]

Dear Piet and Colleagues,

I am trying to figure out and test the DEF MARC-RDA sent to all of us by
Piet recently. We at Moi University use LC classification numbers. I
however notice that field 50 which in MARC 21 is for library of congress
call number is missing. Where should we place this?
