Hi Tasha Bite your tongue! Fixing errors in old records kept me busy during the 2020 lockdowns!
Honestly I think this would be a good idea, even if the interface only showed some kind of alert according to a (predefined) set of rules. The MARCEdit MARCValidator is a good example (it even reports on invalid tag indicators). As you say, we can always write SQL reports to pull individual (repeated) errors, but it would be nice to spot these 'live' too.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Good morning, I'm interested to know if anyone has developed tools to help copy catalogers quality check their work in real time. For example, at a long-ago conference, I saw a librarian present Windows batch scripts they'd created to check cataloging in Millennium. I don't recall the specifics, but for my purposes, I'd be interested in doing checks such as the following: * Compare 260 to 008 * Check for the presence or absence of important fields in both bib and item record * Check for agreement between item type and notforloan value I could do the above with SQL, but I'm trying to get closer to first-time quality by catching the errors as they occur (maybe I could use jQuery to link a prebuilt report that would check the bib I'm currently viewing?). Options might be Jupyter notebooks, or jQuery. This is my first time working with a staff client that is a web application, so I'm not sure what is realistically possible or what anyone has already come up with (Google is not helping). Any food for thought is welcome. Even if I only "caught" errors such as impossible publication dates (e.g., 2039, 202, etc.), that would be a help. Thanks for your time and consideration, Tasha Bales _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://koha-community.org__;!!DVrgiXjqvl2yLjg!ZWXEShPXQpMgfNVPNXBmLGI1jXVHXieyFdvpzDpP9v1W5YBw2ROfyN_Un9bLWiEWrRktJE-VEiEVkXRKnleTpherYdgH$ Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Unsubscribe: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha__;!!DVrgiXjqvl2yLjg!ZWXEShPXQpMgfNVPNXBmLGI1jXVHXieyFdvpzDpP9v1W5YBw2ROfyN_Un9bLWiEWrRktJE-VEiEVkXRKnleTplSiTy28$ _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Unsubscribe: https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
