--- Comment #38 from Heather <[email protected]> --- Here's some Cataloger Opinions on Punctuation (in case it's helpful!): I looked at the sample records--lots of fields seem to be missing required indicators, but I guess that doesn't affect this? First record, "This is a series with multiple 8xx but no 4xx" has correct punctuation. Second record, "This is a series with multiple 440 and 8xx but no 490" has incorrect punctuation in second 440 field: "Chronicles of Prydain ǂv 2" should be "Chronicles of Prydain ;ǂv 2" It's the same in the 3rd records, "This is a series with 8xx and 490," with the 490 lacking a semicolon preceding the subfield v. Given that this MARC record lacks the required semicolon preceding the subfield v, yet a semicolon is supplied in the display, it seems that Koha is supplying semicolons as display constants, but this is not permitted in MARC21 for field 490: https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd490.html The only display constants permitted in MARC21 are optional parentheses enclosing the display of the entire field. So catalogers are required to enter a semicolon preceding a subfield v in all MARC21 series fields (4XX &/or 8XX), so Koha shouldn't be supplying semicolon display constants. I think this supplying of a semicolon display constant is why there are weird double-semicolons. So maybe a developer could apply Developer Code Magic to stop Koha from supplying these unallowed semicolon display constants? As for the behavior of record "This is a series with 440 and 490" not displaying the 490 with a first indicator of 1, that seems like correct behavior--that is an incorrect indicator, since "1" should only be used when the record has a paired 8XX field to provide the series added entry. (The correct indicator in the absence of a paired 8XX field is 490 0_). --h2 -- 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/
