Oh, yes you're right, but you're also right that Koha doesn't do this - so it doesn't really solve my immediate problem. Nicole On Fri, Jun 21, 2013 at 10:56 PM, Bob Elgie <bob.elgie@gmail.com> wrote:

I meant that the LC description of Leader position 05 is "Record status" and states that "c" in position 05 indicates "Corrected or revised. Addition/change other than in the Encoding level code has been made to the record."
I've understood this to mean that ILS software developers have the option to use this byte in the leader to update an existing biblio, which sounds like what you wanted to do by matching on ISBN. I expect that implementing this in software would match on tag 001 instead.
I've wondered why koha doesn't (as I believe) do this, while taking care not to over-write tags 9XX or links. Too tricky?
I hope that clarifies.

Isn't this what LDR05 is for? (Even if the import script at present ignores that info.)
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
