I think 111a should be added for 'author'
I don't think 130a,830a are appropriate--those are title data.
I'd like to see all 6XX pulled out of the 'author' index. A book *about* Shakespeare isn't the same as a book *by* Shakespeare, so I don't think the 600a,610a,611a should be in the author index.
I'm wondering about subsequent subfields beyond 'a' for many of these--the 100 needs 'b' and 'c' and 'd' to be useful. Similarly 111 would ideally need 'c', 'd', 'n' . But maybe I'm not understanding the question or how this all works.

Thanks for the replyies Irma and Spencer, Exactly the good advice i was hoping for :) Aaah, the subtle nuances of marc... So, I've updated the indexes with both of your suggestions. I'm sure in the next few weeks they can be refined, but its now at nice and usable state. 'title' => '130a,210a,222a,240a,243a,245a,245b,246a,246b,247a,247b, 250a,250b,440a,830a', 'author' => '100a,110a,111a,245c,700a,710a,711a,800a,810a,811a', 'isbn' => '020a', 'issn' => '022a', 'lccn' => '010a', 'biblionumber => '999c', 'itemtype' => '942c', 'publisher' => '260b', 'date' => '260c', 'note' => '500a, 501a,504a,505a,508a,511a,518a,520a,521a,522a,524a, 526a,530a,533a,538a,541a,546a,555a,556a,562a,563a,583a,585a,582a', 'subject' => '600*,610*,611*,630*,650*,651*,653*,654*,655*,662*,690*', 'dewey' => '082', 'bc' => '952p', 'callnum' => '952o', 'host-item' => '952a,952c' Cheers, Mason -- Mason James mason.james@liblime.com Programmer www.liblime.com LibLime +64 21 542 117
