[aisle] [*EXTERNAL*] Delete Books by Prefix?

[Schauff, Kristine]

Hi Kari,

It will depend on the software the library is using.  If the prefix is in
its own holdingcode, it should be a simple matter for any software to
delete.  If it is embedded in an entire fiction collection, then the list
and individual barcode deletion will likely be the workflow.  If that is
the case, I'd pull a cart of them at a time and work through scanning (less
error than typing) and deleting.

Happy Weeding!
