> cynthia, I can't help you but I can encourage you -- honestly, the call numbers alone (especially in LCC where the notation is not a strict hierarchy) are close to useless without the meanings. One might even make the meanings more visible than the call numbers themselves (bolder, placed first)... Go for it!
