Hi all, I've been reading your notes about the future development of Koha, and it sounds pretty exciting. You've thought of some very nice features to add.
Hi kim, 1st, my opinion is that this mail would be on a better place in koha-devel mailing list.
I see that some people's duties are changing, and I'm wondering who are the key people working on MARC improvements, and if more details about the roadmap for the MARC portions of Koha is posted somewhere?
I was the MARC guy until now. Not sure it i'll stay, but I agree if asked.
Stop me if you know this already, but I think that since the MARC structure has so much functionality already built into it, why not take advantage of that? For example, using the indicators to help with indexing will solve the display sorting problem with titles that start with "The". Using the leader/fixed fields for item types, is another example of using fields already built into the MARC record.
There is 1 thing you're missing : one of the major goal we have is to be any-MARC compliant. So Koha must work with UNIMARC as well as MARC21. And indicators are marc-flavour specific. So your idea is good, but not so easy to code.
And, of course, the multiple subject headings issue needs to be resolved.
could you explain a little bit more what you're speaking of ?
I am stuck in my implementation of Koha because, although there is the ability to assign call numbers at the item level, the opac display (except for MARC view) is that of the bib level call number. You should probably enter a bug in bugzilla, it should not be too hard to fix. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
