emj...@pa.net changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |emj...@pa.net --- Comment #57 from emj...@pa.net --- Like the 2013 thread starter and initial commentator, I believe MARC designates the 001 field (Control Number) for use to uniquely identify a bibliographic record. IME the ILS does this automatically with both created and imported records. (Imported records with data in the 001 field would have that data automatically transferred into a newly created 035 field.) These unique, sequential Control Numbers were automatically generated system-wide despite multiple locations and input from multiple users. Koha appears to be able to create a unique, auto-generated, sequential identifier for each bibliographic record despite input from multiple users through the Koha field 'biblio.biblionumber;' however, it is mapped to the MARC field 999 subfield 'c.' It would be preferable to have this unique identifier in the MARC 001 field. Does the sequence number engine need to be fixed when the biblio.biblionumber auto-generates a unique sequential identifier already? Is it a matter of setting up the two fields alike (created upon the record being saved, and being visible after saving and during editing) so that a unique identifier could safely be generated in that field? With all the sequential auto-generated fields used currently by Koha (999$c, 999$d, 952$p), surely there is a way to auto populate the 001 field. If Koha requires that the 999$c field contain a unique identifier, I would find it preferable if the same identifier be used in the 001 rather than multiple unique identifiers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list Koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
