If UNIMARC handle multiple isbns, its no just a problem to loop over them, and remove hyphens in every one. And, the original isbn is kept in isbn field in biblioitems table.
But (1) when a library will export its catalog in ISO2709, ISBN fields will come from biblioitems.marcxml not biblioitems.isbn and (2) biblioitems.isbn size is only 30 characters which could be too short with multiple ISBNs.
When a search is performed, only during search specifically by isbn or issn, hyphens are removed from query, but not during other search like kw, au ...
Ok, so it's not that bad but it would be great if a anywhere search would work also with ISBN.
I'm agree with the modification in koha. Add another index type to handle this. I saw somebody did it a few days ago, here:
http://lists.indexdata.dk/pipermail/zebralist/2010-May/002423.html , it maybe work, its only a decision about handle it.
We can ask to Frydolin. I've added him to this thread.
We need this change, by one way or another, because most of the people search an isbn without hyphens, and as I saw, most of the Z we used, could handle this, searching with or without hyphens.
I agree and I support 100% your work. I really want it into Koha but we also need to avoid a regression. I know libraries who count on Koha to catalog normalized UNIMARC biblio records. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA Contact for the bug.
