Mike - First of all, it sounds like you want to use US MARC, so be sure that your "marcflavour" in Parameters/System Preferences is "MARC21." Do the tag descriptions and numbers look correct when you are adding the biblio (addbiblio.pl)? But then they look wrong when you try to edit the added biblio? Or is there something else you're seeing that indicates that the data has been stored with the wrong tags? Michael Watson said:
Greetings,
I have just begun experimenting with Koha (version 2.0.0RC4.) I'm hoping to do a poster session on it at the next South Central Chapter/Medical Library Association in October.
I've encountered something odd. It may be that I'm simply entering data incorrectly, or perhaps I missed some detail of configuration.
I've entered data for one new biblio. What I am finding is that most of the data I enter seems to be getting stored in the wrong field.
* LCCN is appropriately stored as 010 * ISBN is appropriately stored as 020 * However, Year of publication (260) is being stored as title (245) * Main Entry--Personal Name (100 | a) is being stored as 100 | d, "dates associated with a name" * 245 (title statement) is being stored as 100 | c "Titles and other words associated with a name" * 650 "Subject added entry" is being stored as 260 | c "publication, distribution etc."
I didn't spot any description of this sort of problem in the list archives, but maybe I'm missing something. Is this a known problem? Or can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?
Many thanks,
Mike Watson thornswabbler@earthlink.net (a librarian, but not a cataloger!)
