[Bug 22708] New: Replace Material Type with biblio itemtype
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22708 Bug ID: 22708 Summary: Replace Material Type with biblio itemtype Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Cataloging Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: andrew@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: m.de.rooy@rijksmuseum.nl Target Milestone: --- Many libraries find the Material Type designation in the catalog to be troublesome as it relies on the MARC leader, which has a limited selection of possible values and some catalogers do not wish to maintain. Would it be possible to introduce the option to replace Material Type with biblioitems.itemtype? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22708 --- Comment #1 from Owen Leonard <oleonard@myacpl.org> --- Replace in what context? The display of bibliographic search results and details? I'm not sure how this would work given a single record might have items of multiple item types attached. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22708 --- Comment #2 from Andrew <andrew@bywatersolutions.com> --- I was thinking in both search results and bib details. If we use the bib-level itemtype (942$c) rather than the item-level itemtype (952$y) then we'll have just one value per bib record. Absolutely this change wouldn't work for every library, but the existing system doesn't work for every library either. We just hide the material type altogether for lots of libraries. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
