Hi Heather, similar to you this has been bothering me for a while now too. I'd be super happy if you filed a bug for it. All you really need to fill in are: - Choose a good description - Describe the problem (you did so already perfectly) - Set the module - Version: you can pick the one you spotted it in, but I am sure it's in master too :) Save! Some more info on all the fields can be found here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Bug_Reporting_Guidelines Let me know if I can help in any way!

Hi!
My users have noticed something that's bothered me, but I held off clutching my pearls about it until one of my users complained to me!:) I'm wondering if this might be worth my learning to try to file a bug? The MARC21 Bibliographic Format for subfield i in the 246 field specifies putting a colon at the end of the text in that field, intending the data in that subfield to precede the title data, i.e.: 245 00$aBulletin of atomic scientists. *246* *1#**$i*At head of title:*$a*Science and public affairs*$f*Jan. 1970-Apr. 1974 *246* *1#**$i*Title on container:*$a*New Brunswick royal gazette *246* *1#**$i*Alternate issues published with title:*$a*Chicago daily telegraph But Koha displays the $i data *after* the title in the staff client and the OPAC, e.g. an example from our catalog: https://keys.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=6... Displays: Other title:...Rees on ships [Binder's spine title:].
As an OCLC user, I have to follow MARC21 and OCLC Bibliographic Formats and Standards, which also has these data examples: 245 0 0 Bulletin of atomic scientists. 246 1 ǂi At head of title: ǂa Science and public affairs ǂf January 1970-April 1974 245 0 0 Quartetti per archi. 246 1 ǂi Colophon title: ǂa Smyccove kvartety 246 1 ǂi Panel title: ǂa Welcome to big Wyoming 245 0 4 The Bluegrass album. 246 1 ǂi Volume 3 has title: ǂa California connection
So I have to input the colon at the end of data entered into the $i, and then it looks really weird displayed after the $a data in Koha.
Would it be worth my trying to (finally!) learn how to file a bug to have the 246 fields display the $i in the correct position, e.g.:
Other title: At head of title: Science and public affairs Other title: Colophon title: Smyccove kvartety | Panel title: Welcome to big Wyoming Other title: Binder's spine title: Rees on ships | Known as: Rees's ships
(This is very MARC21 & OCLC-centric, but I am completely unfamiliar with UNIMARC.)
Thank you! Cheerio, h2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heather Hernandez (she, her, hers) Technical Services Librarian San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 2 Marina Blvd., Bldg.
