https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=17875 Bug ID: 17875 Summary: Linking to series authority records fails when a space precedes the semicolon Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: gmcharlt@gmail.com Reporter: lucy.vaux-harvey@ptfs-europe.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl A customer has reported that the automatic linking of series authority records to series fields in the bib record (440 and 830) fails due to the space added before the semicolon when series numbering is present. Prescribed punctuation for series fields requires a space before the semicolon so this space should be ignored. Example: 830 Series Added Entry – Uniform title Alcuin Club collections links to authority record Alcuin club collections ; does not link to authority record Background: ISBD punctuation, which is used in the most recent cataloguing standard (RDA) and in the preceding standard (AACR2), requires a space semicolon at the end of a series statement if it is followed by series numbering (cf. http://www.ifla.org/files/assets/cataloguing/isbd/isbd-cons_2007-en.pdf , RDA 0.3.3 and AACR2 1.6 A1). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
