Just to add, that in join² we recently discovered some papers with ~35k "authors". [...] I suppose it depends on the type of library and how they use Koha.
Of course. I just added this comment to give an idea how far one would need to scale up the number of authors to be done with (for a while). Besides getting the ids right there might even be some issues rendering the display of whatever editor you use, btw.
For instance, a circulating public library is probably not going to run into this.
Of course not. [...]
A special library hopefully has a digital repository but might be using their Koha for it.
We were pondering on using Koha as the successor system for our current repository, that is also based on Marc21 and we have this several k author lists use a lot of normalizations etc. Koha would fit a lot of bills. It would however require Koha to get a decent OA repository component. (join² was pondering if we could pull this off, but it was finally decided otherwise for other reasons.) Still, I think it would be worthwhile to add a decent OA repository component to Koha, but that's another story and also quite a task to get it right. It is actually quite convenient if your repo is your catalogue. I'll miss that.
The smaller special libraries not using digital repositories are the ones where I'd usually see this scenario.
It's probably not a matter of size of the library, but on the research area of your institution. I would definitely call us pretty small, while Atlas and CMS papers are regulars in our systems. (More on the repository end / article cataloguing of course.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
