Thanks James. To clarify, the idea is to have : - an authority record with a 100 field that has the author's name in $a and the title in $t - a bibliographic record where the 100$a is filled with the 100$a from the autority record, and the 240$a from the 100$t of the authority record, which Koha cannot do. So we would have this in the bibliographic record : 100 0\ $9authid $aHomer. 240 10 $9authid $aIliad And this in the authority record : 001 authid 100 $aHomer $tIliad I would have thought that the 240 should be linked to an uniform title record (with the header in 130), but this kind of authority cannot have an author name. http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd130.html From what i understand, we should be filling both 100 and 240 in the biblio from the 100 in the authority in this situation, with subfields from the authority going in different subfields in the bibliographic record (namely the $t will end up in a $a). As far as i know, Koha really doesn't do that. Le 22/09/2015 18:28, James Weinheimer a écrit :

as a non specialist in marc21 i am being asked how to fill field 240 properly.
What i understood from what was explained to me today, is that when 240 refers to a uniform title that doesn't have a clearly defined and unique author, a uniform-title authority will be used, with the header in 130. But if the title has one unique and unambiguous author, a person for instance, a personal name authority should be used, with the title in 100$t.
Seeing how authorities work in Koha this doesn't seem feasible, as the subfields will be copied from the specified header to the bibliographic record, and this would involve copying a 100$t to a 240$a while the 100$a of the authority is copied to the 100$a of the bibliographic record.
Can anyone confirm this understanding of the marc21 standard and give me a better clue of how it is supposed to be implemented in Koha?
Concerning the MARC format, when you have a uniform title, and it is main entry, e.g. "Beowulf" it goes into a 130. 130 \0 $aBeowulf
If you have a uniform title and it has an author, the author's heading will go into the 1xx field (a person's name in 100, a corporate name in 110, etc.) and the title goes into 240, not into 100$t. So, you have 100 0\ $aHomer. 240 10 $aIliad
This works differently if there is a uniform title for another work. So, if Homer's Iliad is one part of a book, e.g. the title is "Masterpieces of Greek literature" and one part is Homer's Iliad, it works:
245 00 Masterpieces of Greek literature ... 700 02 $aHomer.$tIliad.
I don't know if this helps or just makes it more confusing...
I have noticed that a lot of this does not seem to display in the default public view of Koha and if you want it to display, you have to implement it with your style sheet.
