Re: [Koha] Punctuation in Koha
Hi everybody, I have set the ISBD punctuation in the Administrator preferences, so that I don't have to insert manually the punctuation in cataloging; I have also set the punctuation in the MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl file for the Normal View.
My question is: is correct to have MARC21 tag without a punctuation? I mean, if another Libray, that doesn't use Koha, import my records with Z29.50, it will have all my tags without punctuation.
What do you think?
Thanks and kind regards Sander
No, in my opinion. Please read http://www.itcompany.com/inforetriever/punctuation.htm (no longer mainteined) http://www.docstoc.com/docs/4900496/MARC21-closing-punctuation-and-other-ins... or other results from a G search for 'marc21 punctuation'. Stefano

Indeed - if you want to interchange MARC21 records, the ISBD punctuation should be included in the record, although because of the acceptance of MARC proposal 2010-07 [1], if you want you can set the Leader/18 to 'c' and omit the *ending* punctuation from the records (although ISBD punctuation within a field must still be included). This isn't an optimal situation of course, as it imposes unnecessary redundancy in MARC21 records. There is a recommendation [2] from a PCC task force I was on to remove ISBD punctuation from MARC21; you may find it interesting reading.

Hi, thank you Stefano and Galen for your reply and suggestions. Thanks and regards Sander -- View this message in context: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Punctuation-in-Koha-tp5737773p5738337.html Sent from the Koha-general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Hi Galen, in our sub menu we don't have the possibility to choose the value 'c' for the leader 18; we have to change manually in the string of the leader. Is there a way to put the option 'c' in the sub menu of leader 18? Maybe changing the plugin associated to the leader?

Sander, if you edit /usr/share/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/cataloguing/value_builder/marc21_leader.tt look the word "Descriptive" (template for leader 18), and add the following code between "a" and "i" options [% IF ( f18c ) %] <option value="c" selected="selected">c- ISBD punctuation omitted</option> [% ELSE %] <option value="c">c- ISBD punctuation omitted</option> [% END %] then you will have the "c" option I will file a bug and send a patch.

To hopefully save you a bit of effort, I've created bug 9358 [1] that has a complete list of updates required for the MARC21 fixed field plugins to account for recent updates to the format.

Hi Galen, I will try to fix all the missing/updated parts, and submit a patch for your bug, think that 9357 could be closed/abandoned. Regards, Bernardo -- Bernardo Gonzalez Kriegel bgkriegel@gmail.com On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 1:21 PM, Galen Charlton <gmc@esilibrary.com> wrote:

I already signed off on your patch for 9357 and marked it as a blocker for 9358, so if you're working on 9358, you may as well leave 9357 unless Jared wants a squashed patch.

Since it's simple and done, perhaps we could just get a QA team member's eyes on it? Regards, Jared -- Jared Camins-Esakov Bibliographer, C & P Bibliography Services, LLC (phone) +1 (917) 727-3445 (e-mail) jcamins@cpbibliography.com (web) http://www.cpbibliography.com/
