[Koha] Publisher Authority Type

[Hernandez, Heather]

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.

Cheerio!
