I should've been more specific. I don't need to fill in every detail. Just a few parts. Position 6 and 7 of the LDR (type of record and bibliographic level) and positions 7-10 and 35-37 of the 008 (publication date and language). The state-run ILL system uses these on their server. We don't need the data pulled from other fields, but it would be nice. If there is any good way to deal with them manually it would be fine. That's how we our current system handles it. baljkas@mts.net wrote:

Hi, Tim,
Regarding your question --
I was wondering how (or if) Koha handles the leader (LDR) and fixed data (008) marc fields. Is there a way to map information from other fields into parts of these fields?
answer is: for all practical purposes: NO. (It *might* be possible if you had *extremely* detailed records with extensive notes. Although, if that were the case, you'd probably already have valid leaders and 008's)
