--- Comment #4 from Jared Camins-Esakov <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #2) > I was thinking that serials are a special case such that we could have a > 'continuing resource' checkbox to tell Koha that a given framework is a > serials framework.

If you are importing 300 serial records, they should already have leader and 008 fields. If they do not, then there is a problem with your records, and special-casing their treatment doesn't make sense because this isn't a solution, it's just a workaround that will come back and bite you later (had some legitimate book records in with those serials? Sorry, the leader and 008 have been clobbered by Koha). In addition, if we're going to handle serials like this (LDR/07=s), we also need to handle analytics (LDR/07=a or =b), collections (LDR/07=c), and the various formats that require wholly different 008 fields. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
