MARC preview on auts vs. bibs?
Hi! We've just been upgraded to 22.11 (I LOVE IT!!!) and the MARC preview of authority records is working, but it's different from the MARC preview for bibliographic records and, well, I don't like it. The MARC preview for auts has all the tag labels (e.g., 455 ## - SEE FROM TRACING--GENRE/FORM TERM) and I already know all that—IMO, anyone looking at the MARC preview already knows all that. So it's not really a MARC preview—it's a repeat of the regular display in one pop-up window. I don't like this, because I want a way to see an unlabeled MARC aut record in one screen—to be able to look at it, read it, etc., quickly. There is currently no way to do that, and I think having the MARC preview repeat all the tag/field labels that are already present in the regular display is redundant. I would love for the aut MARC preview to be exactly the same as the bib MARC preview, so there is a way for catalogers to quickly see an unlabeled MARC record that they can examine, scan, read, etc. But am I the only one? Should I put a bug into Bugzilla for this? (Is there a but already there that I couldn't find?)

Hi Heather, I think you make some good points and I am not aware of any existing bug. If you could file one that would be great. Katrin On 27.06.23 18:06, Hernandez, Heather H wrote:

Hi, Katrin! Does Bug 30131 touch on this or cover this? (I commented on it, just in case.) Or is my issue about making the aut MARC preview match the bib MARC preview completely separate? Thank you! h2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ms. Heather Hernandez (she, her, hers) Technical Services Librarian Library catalog: https://keys.bywatersolutions.com/ San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 2 Marina Blvd., Bldg.

Hi Heather, the attached patch isn't touching any files in the authority module, so I think it's only about code clean-up not about a change in how the data is viewed. Would still be good to have a bug about your concerns for the display itself. Katrin On 30.06.23 21:07, Hernandez, Heather H wrote:

Ah—thank you, Katrin! I did it! I filed a bug!! 34179 – Make authority MARC preview look like bibliographic MARC preview (koha-community.org)<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=34179> I am particularly unsure about what "Version" should say, but I figure someone will correct any mistakes I made when they see them! Cheerio! h2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ms. Heather Hernandez (she, her, hers) Technical Services Librarian Library catalog: https://keys.bywatersolutions.com/ San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 2 Marina Blvd., Bldg.
