Might be radical, but I told my vendors how I wanted my MARC 952 to look and they are complying no cost to me since I'm paying for the records... ;) Follett is in compliance David savitra wrote:

Folks,
One of our customers wants the ability to import Follett marc records without having to use Marc Edit (to change fields 852 to 952).
We want to make this change generic such that it will work for any import file that has holdings in fields other than 952.
This is what we were thinking, will appreciate feedback on this design:
1. Use marc_subfield_structure table to store field structure of the import file. So Follett would have records under its framework code. We could create frameworks for other vendors too. 2. Accept framework code as user input from stage-marc-import.pl. User could choose nothing which means input file already has holdings in 952. Or could choose Follett or some other vendor. 3. Pass framework code as parameter to BatchStageMarcRecords (C4/ImportBatch.pm) and from there to AddItemsToImportBiblio (C4/ImportBatch.pm). 4. In AddItemsToImportBiblio - Use the input framework code in GetMarcFromKohaField (C4/Biblio.pm) to fetch Follett holdings fields and subfields - Fetch default fields and subfields (952) using null framework code, as is currently done. - For each subfield set values appropriately (in the case of Follett 952s = 852s) before saving item record. 5. Initially the code will help with holdings tags, and later we could extend this to biblio tags as well.
