Are you sure you want to merge everything into a single 100? MARC21 works otherwise. If you did have 100 1\ $aSmith, John;$aEdwards, Mary;$aJackson, Ann It would seem to be more difficult to prevent a search for a specific "John Jackson" or "Mary Smith" *not* to pull up this record. This is one place I would do a lot of thinking about, because once they are merged, they could be very difficult to unmerge if necessary. Jim On 13/05/2013 12:29, Alexandru Constantin wrote:
Dear colleagues,
I'm trying to convert (using MARCEdit) my approx. 10 000 entry ISIS database to MARC21 for import in Koha. I'm encountering the following problem:
Some of the tags for each book are duplicate; for example, for multiple authors, the record will look smth like this: ... =702 John =702 Mary =702 Ann ...
I would like to merge this fields into the MARC21 100 field like this: ... =100 \\$a John, Mary, Ann ...
Unique fields haven't posed problems, but those duplicates do. I would really appreciate some help.
Best regards ^_^,
