https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26079 Bug ID: 26079 Summary: Use 008 positions 14-16 as authoritative authority entry type Change sponsored?: Sponsored Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: ASSIGNED Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: MARC Authority data support Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: alexbuckley@catalyst.net.nz QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Instead of using the auth_header.authtypecode as the authoritative authority entry type look at the 008 position 14-16. According to MARC standards ( https://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ad008.html ): * 088 position 14 = 'a' means the authority record is a name authority * 008 position 15 = 'a' means the authority record is a subject authority * 008 position 16 = 'a' means the authority record is a series authority These three characters allow authority records to belong to multiple auth types. Koha only allows an authority record to have one auth type. Given a syspref is enabled load all authorities into the default authority type. Search/use/display them according to how they are coded in their 008 positions 14-16 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
