Moreover, even if you still want to do so, Carol, Koha doesn't -- that is, at present, it CAN'T -- make use of the required $6 linking subfield.*** I can't see how you would overcome that barrier without a heavy investment in programming. Actually, Koha CAN make use of the $6 linking subfield in tag 880. It requires no programming, just about a minute of time setting up the

See here: http://koha.liblime.com/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl (tab 4) To set up 880 $6 in your Koha system do the following: Go the the Koha administration page: /cgi-bin/koha/admin-home.pl Click on 'Biblio framework' Click on 'MARC structure' for the 'default framework' at the bottom of the page, click on 'Add New MARC Tag' Type in the number (880), Label for intranet and OPAC (ALTERNATE GRAPHIC REPRESENTATION), click on 'Repeatable' since 880 is repeatable. Click on 'Save Changes. Now you've added tag 880 and you can add $6. put '6' in the Subfield and change 'managed in tab' to '4'. Click on Save Changes. That's it, you're done! i think the $6 linking field is different from a regular subfield a, b or c etc. In MARC, all the information on the book will be stored in the native language in tag 880. Then they use $6 linking field to tie 880 to tag 100 for Name etc... so e.g. 880 $6100 a.... so this tag means information stored here is the author name (designated by code $6100) in e.g Chinese. $6 is not a regular subfield.... BTW: Steven, this is another example of you framing something in terms of what Koha is capable of doing, when in fact, it's merely a matter of not RTFM.
