As a librarian, I like being able to check the MARC coding of a record (mine or that in other libraries).
Is the "raw" MARC view the one you prefer for this? As opposed to this one? http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?biblionu...
But, also as a librarian, I would like to make this go away so that fields I code as "hidden" are completely hidden, even from the prying eyes of other librarians.
The above view (opac-MARCdetail.pl) respects the visibility settings you can configure in your MARC framework. So if you edit a tag's subfield structure and set the "hidden" value so that it does not display in the OPAC, it won't. However, these rules are not respected by the "raw" modal MARC view.
Too improve usability, it would be good if I could cut and paste from that view. The expanded MARC view doesn't supply the tags necessary to, um, 'borrow' other people's cataloging work.
If you're trying to borrow from a Koha library, why not use the "Save record" option? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
