--- Comment #1 from Katrin Fischer <[email protected]> --- Actually I recently learned through a change in our union catalog export, that this doesn't work quite as I had assumed in the past and not like you would think from the subfield descriptions: https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bdleader.html a - Monographic component part Monographic bibliographic unit that is physically attached to or contained in another unit such that the retrieval of the component part is dependent on the identification and location of the host item or container. Contains fields that describe the component part and data that identify the host, field 773 (Host Item Entry). Examples of monographic component parts with corresponding host items include an article in a single issue of a periodical, a chapter in a book, a band on a phonodisc, and a map on a single sheet that contains several maps. b - Serial component part Serial bibliographic unit that is physically attached to or contained in another unit such that the retrieval of the component part is dependent on the identification and location of the host item or container. Contains fields that describe the component part and data that identify the host, field 773 (Host Item Entry). Example of a serial component part with corresponding host item is a regularly appearing column or feature in a periodical. So the "serial" isn't about it being part of a serial, but actually about the way the child record is published. For most cases we use this feature for, "a" then appears as the correct default. Now it gets a bit more ugly: if you actually want to distinguish between serial and monograph, you need to encode this in 773$7 pos 3: https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd76x78x.html On the other hand, taking care of that automatically could be a real win... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
