--- Comment #13 from David Cook <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Kelly McElligott from comment #9) > Hi Katrin, > When I look up the Marc Standard for the appropriate term for this material > type, I am finding more examples are directing toward the word Book, not > Text. > > http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html > https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/type.html > Hi Kelly, I think that you're misinterpreting what you're seeing in those links. Library of Congress (http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html): " - Language material Used for non-manuscript language material. Manuscript language material uses code t. Includes microforms and electronic resources that are basically textual in nature, whether they are reproductions from print or originally produced." Definitely "Text" rather than "Book. OCLC (https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/type.html): You can see "Language material" being used for "BKS - Books" and "CNR - Continuing Resources" at the top there. These are OCLC concepts and not MARC standards. If you go down further, you'll also see this text: " a Language material. Non-manuscript language or textual material including all published print language material, original microform publications of language material, microform reproductions of published language material, and published textual electronic resources. In Books format, examples include books, pamphlets, technical reports, etc. In Continuing Resources format, examples include annuals, journals, newspapers, periodicals, proceedings, etc. Use code e or f for cartographic atlases. Use code t for manuscript or unpublished language material. Use code a for online textual material, including digitized textual manuscripts." So note that "Books" is a format that OCLC applies to more than just Books. And "Language material" applies to many non-Books with that Continuing Resources format like journals, newspapers, etc. Ultimately, there's just really no possible way that "Book" is an accurate label for "Language material". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://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/
