Several cataloging plugins make some simple AJAX GET calls via the YUI
AJAX feature. This code can be easily converted to jQuery.
To test, link each plugin to the relelvant field by editing your MARC
stucture. Confirm that functionality is unchanged.
For callnumber.pl and callnumber-KU.pl, test by linking to 952o.
callnumber.pl is triggered on blur of (when you focus on and click away
from) the 952o entry field. callnumber-KU.pl is triggered by clicking
the "..." link.
stocknumberam123.pl should be linked to 952i. If your data doesn't
already have information stored for inventory number, modify at least
one record to add one. The plugin is triggered on blur of the 952i
field. It should increment the highest value inventory number stored in
your system.
unimarc_field_010.pl is UNIMARC-specific, so I'm guessing about its
functionality. I tested it by linking the plugin to MARC21 field 020a.
The plugin is triggered on blur of the affected field (020a in my test).
You can confirm that the plugin returns valid data by using a tool like
Firebug to view the XHR response. Or if you're not using UNIMARC you can
hack the plugin to update a different field instead (line 57,
/^tag_210_subfield_c/ ). I tried "245_subfield_c" instead of
"210c_subfield_c." Nonsensical, but useful for testing.

Tried the 3 MARC21 plugins. Did not try the Unimarc one, but it's exactly the same code change.

A library using an inhouse callnumbering system wants to be able to generate the next available call number not already in use. This custom call number plugin returns the next callnumber not already in use once a correct prefix has been entered. The prefixes are four to six letters, space, then one or two numbers.
