We are looking forward to using Owen's patch which will give us the series title in the staff client. Since, this issue is being worked on I have some further information which needs to be taken into consideration. Beginning on Oct. 24th 2008, the Library of Congress, made the following described change to how series information is recorded in MARC records… http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/Field440.pdf Currently, in our KOHA OPAC (version 3.01.00.014), series information is only being pulled from the 440 field. All the new records that we are receiving from our vendors have series information in the 490 or 490/800 field. Is this already being taken into account in the patches that have been submitted - so that series information in the 490 or 490/800 field displays correctly? If possible the OPAC could first try to pull information from the 490 field (subfield a,v) and if those were blank – pull info from the 440 field (subfields a,v). I spoke to the cataloging expert at our State Library and she said that many libraries are leaving their old records with the 440 tag and using the 490 tag from now on – so it sounds like the majority of libraries are going to have data in both of these fields depending on how old the record is – but in order for KOHA to stay up to date with current cataloging rules the 490 and 490/800 fields need to be pulled and displayed in the OPAC. In order for the fix to be comprehensive, the fix would need to be applied to both the OPAC search results page and the OPAC details page (and the Staff Client search results and the materials "normal" tab). And the fix would need to be applied when you have the XSLT stylesheet turned ON or OFF for both these pages. Currently our library operates with the OPAC search results XSLT stylesheet turned off, and the OPAC details page XSLT stylesheet turned on. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.
