Hello I am currently trying to identify the Marc Record fields we will use to fill the database. (using koha 1.9.2) The default field used to fill the author name (biblio.author) is 127z. The field does not seem to be appropriate, so we are currently using another field: 410a. But we am not satisfied with this one, which seems to be the author of the collection, not the book itself. My question is: is there another unimarc field reserved for the author name ? Thanks Michel LERENARD

Hi Michel, You've just done your 1st bugreport :-) It should be 200$a Note the 700$a could be used too. The main difference is : * the 200$a is the form as it appears on the physical book. * the 700$a is the authority form. It can be different in 2 cases : -> bug during printing of the book. (very rare, but can occur) -> various names of the author. In this case, the 700$a is the "authority" form, the "standard" form if you prefer. Example : John Paul 2 (the pope) is known at least under 3 names : Jean Paul II, Karol Wojtila (sorry for polish ppl, it's surely badly written), and another one I don't remember (he wrote some poems & theater under this one when he was a youing priest). In a "good" library, only one is used in 700$a. Note : for UNIMARC questions, the best is to ask the french list, (in french :-) ).

In UNIMARC, 127 is for coded data (time length of recordings) and it has only one subfield : $a The field does not seem to be appropriate, so we are currently using another field: 410a. But we am not satisfied with this one, which seems to be the author of the collection, not the book itself.
My question is: is there another unimarc field reserved for the author name ? In UNIMARC the author comes in 200$f (not in 200$a as Paul said : in 200$a stands the title), and then comes back again in 700$a in it's authority form.
Thanks

woops... you're right : it was a typo => i've fixed author in 200$f in cvs default unimarc structure.
