[Koha] MARC field 650

Hi, Wojciech,

In short answer to your question, Koha is still catching up with MARC standards (the original contractor that initiated its development was MARC-phobic). It is still not clear to me if there has been a release target established for full MARC compliance yet.

For the meantime, there have been various workarounds suggested (ones that, unfortunately, are not acceptable to libraries requiring full MARC compliance in their ILS: you will know your library's situation). If you check back through the Archives you will find various temporary solutions proposed, although none are complete resolutions since the 650 needs to be repeatable to cover all the data that can be in valid MARC 650 fields.

Hope this helps a bit.

Hello koha,

  I have one small question why MARC field 650 is not repeated as
  required MARC format?

  example:
  http://212.14.16.131:8001/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?bib=6101
  (polish template only work)

  is:
650 - S?owo kluczowe
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      pi?te rozszerzenie UE
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      Wspólna Polityka Zagraniczna i Bezpiecze?stwa
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      Europejska Polityka Bezpiecze?stwa i Obrony
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      umowy o patnerstwie
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      Europejska Polityka S?siedztwa
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      Ukraina
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      Bia?oru?
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      Polska
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      polityka wschodnia UE
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      Partnerstwo Euro?ródziemnomorskie  

should be:

650 - S?owo kluczowe
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      pi?te rozszerzenie UE
650 - S?owo kluczowe
a Topical term or geographic name as entry element      Wspólna Polityka Zagraniczna i Bezpiecze?stwa
(...)


any idea?:)
