[Koha] Fwd: Converting MARC 21 from AACR2 to RDA

[Paul A]

On a sort of related point, our cataloguers have recently brought to my 
attention the "new" RDA "264 - Production, Publication, Distribution, 
Manufacture, and Copyright Notice" field, which some of the Z39.50 imports 
appear to be using *instead of* 260 -- they tell me they're seeing it more 
and more often.

264 does not exist in Default framework (therefore in no others) so they 
are having to manually copy the data fields.

Has anyone looked into this? Any thoughts of how best for Koha to deal with it?

Thanks -- Paul
