Hi Paul: My question about repeatability of subfield is as such:
I would like to repeat just one subfield e.g. a to be repeated under e.g. tag 650.
I think the responses I get from Stephen and Thomas are that Koha cannot repeat just one subfield under a tag. Stephen said that he is using an external catagloging software, then import the records to Koha.
Is it what we need to do if we need to enter records with repeated subfields?
Of course you can ! Koha MARC editor can't do every MARC tricks, but it can do at least some. Just type | in the subfield when you want to create separate subfields. For example : computer|logic in 650$a will create 650$acomputer$alogic HTH. PS : yes, this feature is probably under-documented. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
Paul, That is interesting. Could this trick be used for creating repeated subfields interrupted by other subfields such as the following example? 260 ##$aParis :$bGauthier-Villars ;$aChicago :$bUniversity of Chicago Press,$c1955. Could this trick be used for creating subfields out of alphabetic sequence such as the following example? 650 #0$aArchitecture$zIllinois$zChicago$xHistory$vPictorial Do you have any other under documented tricks for us?

No, but in 2.2.5, there will be 2 new features : * a systempref, called hide_marc. Libraries that want MARC but not too much MARC can set hide_marc to ON, and hide all fields/subfields/indicators... * for libraries with hide_marc=OFF (default value), there is now a button to reorder subfields + possibility to change the subfieldcode. I don't think actual MARC editor will be able to be improved more, it is really "fat code", which is alway a bad thing. but joshua & some students are working on a new external complete MARC editor, that will be included in Koha, of course. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
