--- Comment #14 from David Cook <[email protected]> --- For what it's worth, I'm the one who opened the report to change "Book" to "Text" for the OPAC back in 2013: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10562. I think Owen wrote his patch in 2018 and it got pushed in 2019. Oh... but something that we're not considering is the Leader/07 and that's something that is obviated by https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/type.html. In the OCLC example, they're choosing "Books" with a Leader/07 of a,c,d,m and "Continuing Resources" with a Leader/07 of b, i, s. If we look at the patch, the XSLT does actually generate a label based on both Leader/06 and Leader/07, Koha is saying "Book/Text" for Leader/07 of c,d,m... "Continuing resource" for Leader/07 of i, s... "Article" for Leader/07 of "a" or "b". I don't think we considered the Leader/07 with the Leader/06 when I originally raised the issue in Bugzilla back in 2013... It's tricky because OCLC's and Koha's use of the Leader/07 with the Leader/06 is still a bit problematic. For instance, a Leader/06 of "a" and Leader/07 of "a" would be classed by OCLC as a Book and by Koha as an Article, but it could actually be a "Book Chapter". The MARC standard itself is pretty problematic, especially when it comes to fixed field data (ie trying to put too much information into too small a space). I mean that's why we have fields like https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd336.html https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd337.html https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd338.html It seems to me the goals of the cataloguer are at odds with the goals of the user-facing library. I still think "Text" is probably the best compromise for a label, but I can understand opposition to that. For what it's worth, so long as it's consistent across the staff client and OPAC, I don't care too much. Since it's in the XSLT, it is fairly easy to customize. -- 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/
