Hi, AFAIK, Koha's MARC support is partial in the following senses: 1. Fixed width tags (MARC21 00x tags) are not supported in a usable way. (You can enter the tags, but you can't manipulate the "subfields" [actually character positions] in any meaningful way.) 2. Repeatable subfields are not currently supported (Bug 731) 3. The ordering of certain subfields are significant (e.g., MARC21's 6xx v, w, x, y, z subfields), but Koha does not currently support user-specified ordering of subfields. (Bug 732) I can only speak as someone with minimal training as a "library volunteer", but as I understand it, my library's librarian regards #2 and #3 as being rather important (at least with regards to his perception of the quality of the MARC support).

Hi list, I just saw the following web page: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ecbdlist.html
... and I am thinking to myself that perhaps Koha doesn't support all the fields, subfields and indicators that are present in MARC21. I base my assumption on the fact that marc_tag_structure and marc_subfield_structure tables do not have them all there. [stuff deleted] -- Ambrose LI Cheuk-Wing <a.c.li@ieee.org>
