David Cook <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #11 from David Cook <[email protected]> --- I like the idea behind this patch, Michael, but I don't think it is as comprehensive as it should be. Take a look at the "Field Definition and Scope" and "Conversion to Current Fields" sections of the MARC 440 page provided by the Library of Congress (http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd440.html). This page states that one should "concatenate field 440 subfields $a, $n and $p and place the new string into 490 subfield $a; and copy the content of 440 subfields $v, $x, $6, and $8 into the same subfields in field 490. Any additional subfields in field 440 do not convert to 490 but do convert to field 830." The additional subfields from 440 are the authority-related $w and $x, which would go into field 830, because it is the field used to link the bib record with the "uniform title" authority record for that series. -- Of course, not all libraries use authorities, so I think it would be useful to have a parameter that handles migrating the 440 to the 490, or migrating the 440 to the 490 AND the 830. If the 440 goes to the 490, the first indicator for the 490 should be 0. If the 440 goes to the 490 and the 830, the first indicator for the 490 should be 1. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
