Error during command authentication.
Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.
Since Sherman answered the first question I'll take a stab at the second one. I have noticed that many libraries classify their artist monographs in N44, followed by an alphabetic cutter for the artists' last name. My schedule lists that number in parentheses, so it's probably obsolete, (but hey how many of us out there use obsolete call numbers, just to keep books on similar subjects together or because someone important insist on it?). Perhaps someone who uses/used N44 could speak to this.
