[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Regarding auth-bib linking on combined name/title headings (1xx main entry + 240 field)
Hello, Question: Has any libraries out there performed bib-auth linking (with Backstage as a vendor ) and encounter the following scenario in their data? Any insight into how you approach this situation? According to Backstage, their system will combine the 1XX and 240 into a temporary unified heading for matching against LC. In short, we can have situations where we have a Bib that generated an authority record after processing, similar to the example bib and auth snippet listed below. This bib… =100 0\$aMartial. =240 10$aEpigrammata.$lEnglish Latin.$kSelections Generates this auth… =100 0\$aMartial.$tEpigrammata.$kSelections.$lEnglish Latin From my understanding of authority control and bib-auth linking in Evergreen, only a one MARC tag to one MARC tag (and one subfield to one subfield) type of linking/control is supported. So, running this bib/auth pair through bib-auth linking does not link these two together. I found this situation to be one reason why some authority records returned from backstage does not link to any bib when looking at some stats after linking. Thanks again for your help!
Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Regarding auth-bib linking on combined name/title headings (1xx main entry + 240 field)
This isn't an answer to the question, but for some background, I personally heard about this for the first time at the 2014 Evergreen conference. There's no code supporting 1-auth-field/multi-bib-fields today. As a general question to the catalogers out there, is the 1XX/240 combo the only instance of this that you're aware of, or is there a general pattern of combining the control of multiple bib fields into a single authority field? That might inform the direction taken with any code to address this.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] [RM 2.7] Evergreen 2.7 Beta1 - Summary
Hello folks, So I just finished putting up the 2.7.0-beta1 files to the Evergreen website's download page. Here are some direct links as well for different 2.7 beta1 preview files so far: http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/Evergreen-ILS-2.7.0-beta1.tar.gz http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/Evergreen-ILS-2.7.0-beta1.tar.gz.md5 http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/evergreen-client-2.7.0-beta1_i686.tar.bz2 http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/evergreen-client-2.7.0-beta1_i686.tar.bz2.md5 http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/evergreen-client-2.7.0-beta1_x86_64.tar.bz2 http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/evergreen-client-2.7.0-beta1_x86_64.tar.bz2.md5 http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/evergreen-setup-2.7.0-beta1.exe http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/evergreen-setup-2.7.0-beta1.exe.md5 http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/ChangeLog-2.6-2.7.0-beta1 A full list of different launchpad targets for the 2.7.0-beta1 build can be found here: https://launchpad.net/evergreen/+milestone/2.7.0-beta1 Additionally, the first draft of the 2.7 release notes listing new features can be found here (a new, final version will be posted as beta testing and release candidate work wraps up): http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/release/RELEASE_NOTES_2_7.html As of this 2.7.0-beta1 release, there will be no new features added to master as the community shifts gears to focus on testing and stabilizing the features that have already been added. This is also an opportunity for developers/reviewers to work on bug fixes and for DIG members to work on documentation. NOTE: One special exception was granted to provide additional testing opportunities for the web-based staff client circulation module preview. This new feature depends on a brand new version of OpenSRF (the upcoming 2.4 version) and we allotted additional time for its testing before merge. The web client preview is the only new feature that will be part of the next pending milestone, which is the 2.7.0-beta2 currently scheduled for next Thursday August 21, 2014. I think that we are well on track towards an on-time release next month, September. I'd like to thank everyone who's participated in the ongoing testing, documentation, and other work completed thus far. Keep up the good work everyone!
