http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11472 Bug ID: 11472 Summary: MARC21 008 plugin should consult leader to set default type of material Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Reporter: gmcharlt@gmail.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl Currently, when you use the MARC21 008 plugin to edit field positions, the type of material is always set to BKS, regardless of the actual material type of the record. This means that you always have to change the material type in the fixed field editor to the appropriate value. It would be nice if the type of material were determined by the current leader value. The "material type" in this context is determined by the Leader/06 and Leader/07. The "input conventions" heading near the bottom of http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html contains a "dependencies" section that designates the appropriate material type for the 008 based on the Leader/06-07. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
