Publisher Authority Type
Hi, At the school library where we are setting up Koha, as part of migrating data, we plan to set up a new authority type for Publisher. We would like to import publisher data from an excel into the publisher authority type, then import the biblio with references to these publishers. I am unable to find detail instructions for the same. Could any of you help me with this please ? Also, which are the MARC tags we should use for illustrator, translated by and for editor fields ? Thanks for the support of this forum. -- Regards, Krishna

One of the things you can do about the publishers is to handle them as authorized values. See http://manual.koha-community.org/16.05/en/basicparams.html#authorizedvalues and also http://manual.koha-community.org/16.05/en/basicparams.html#newauthvalcat Typically I would add a new authorized value category - PUBCODE and define the publishers in that. So if you have the authorized value in your bibliographic data, Koha should map it to the "Description" value in the authorized value.
Also, which are the MARC tags we should use for illustrator, translated by and for editor fields ?
As for cataloging guide, this may help you http://manual.koha-community.org/16.05/en/catguides.html About what fields to use, the ones to look at are 100, 110, 111 and corresponding 700, 710, 711, and also 245 (statement of responsibility). For the 1XX and the 7XX fields mentioned here, typically $4 (relator code) and $e (relator term) takes care of identifying the role of person so named in the record. Look up the following: https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd100.html https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd110.html https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd111.html (in this case relator term is mapped in $j) Similarly see 700, 710, 711 from LOC. Also see https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd245.html (see the examples - particularly for 245$c; look out for "illustrated") Example record: http://library.brcindia.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=106 if you look at the MARC view of the record, the answer will be self-evident :-) hope this helps, Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies Phone : +91-98300-20971 WWW : http://www.l2c2.co.in Blog : http://blog.l2c2.co.in IRC : indradg on irc://irc.freenode.net Twitter : indradg

Hi, Krishna-- Is there a reason that you don't want authority records for publishers to be Corporate Name authority records? We sometimes trace publishers (that is, have a 710 field in a bibliographic record linked to a 110 authority record) and it works very well for us--as well as other corporate names, we've found. Also, information about the publisher, and the fact that it is a publisher, could be stored in the authority record's 3XX fields--the information at http://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ may be helpful.

Hi all, I had reached out to all of you in this forum for help in setting up authority type for Publisher. Later, based on inputs from some of you(thanks Indranil and Heather) we decided not to set up Authority Type. Recently we came across the below article and decided to use auto complete for Place of Publisher and Publisher name - this meets our requirement wonderfully. It helps the librarian to pick from the existing set of entries and reduces scope for error - without setting up authority type!! Thanks Indranil for this wonderful blog article. http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2017/01/15/adding-autocomplete-support-to-m...
