Hello, Yes it does. Someone already reached out and mentioned I can request an institution code from LOC; in the meantime I'll set it to optional. Hi, making 040$c optional will not have any negative effect on your Koha installation. If you want to set it, someone else might be able to give some helpful hints. Hope this helps, Katrin On 10.06.23 10:50, mailto:libr...@ssst.edu.ba wrote: Hello, I have a question about field 040$c: transcribing agency. When I import a record from the British Library or LOC, there will be a code from those institutions. If I am adding locally published books not imported via Z39.50 servers, what do I add here? It's a required field. I found a message msg28536.html in the mail-archive list from Caroline about removing mandatory flags with the caveat that she does not recommend it for the leader or control fields 005 and 008 - what about 040$c? If it's not recommended for this field either, what should I write here?
