Hi all,
this is more of a query for the catalogers. At the 39th character, of 008, Koha offers - #, c, d, u, |
I think it probably varies from one record to the next in many libraries. All the records we've uploaded from our old database were marked d for other, because we created them ourselves.
Are this values arbitrary? Would it be correct to encode an additional value in the plugin template for a specific library?
It would not be correct to add another value. #, c, d, u, | are your only choices.
or should I stick with
using 040 for that purpose?
Yes, 040 expands on 008_39 - that's where our Library code UkLoVW goes for the records that are marked d in 008_39
Since posting this, I read up
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd040.html
and
I use the MARC site all the time. Especially for the 008 field! http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd008.html
I guess that mostly answers my own question. Still I would be happy to hear from the experienced folks around :)
thanks
