Hi, As in the serials module there is an option to search for an existing vendor and add the vendor code while creating a new one, I could not find an option to search for a publishercode. If this is available the data entry part of the publishercode will be very uniform throughout the cataloging entries. I could not find this option any where hence posting it here. Regards Suresh Kumar
I think this might be a good question for the mailing list - to find out how other libraries handle publishers. In the standard, there are no authority files for publishers, but I think some libraries might still use them. There might also be a cataloguing plugin that could be useful.
Created attachment 106851 [details] [review] Bug 15933: Add cataloguing plugin to search for existing publishers in other records This patch adds a new cataloging plugin for MARC21 installations, marc21_field-260b.pl. When enabled it provides autocomplete for publisher name, pulling existing data from biblioitems.publishercode. To test, apply the patch and enable the plugin: - Go to Administration -> MARC bibliographic framework -> MARC structure -> 260 -> Edit subfields -> Subfield b -> Other options. - Set "Plugin" to marc21_field_260b.pl. - Go to Cataloging and edit or create a record. - Under tab 2 click the field for 260$b. Start typing a publisher name. A dropdown should appear with matching publishers. - Selecting one of the results should populate the form field with that information.

Hi Suresh, you could sign this off using the sandboxes, helping to ensure that this will be shipped in Koha with your next update: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sandboxes

Software error:
As this patch does not touch the holds code, I think something else went wrong in Suresh's testing. I've made sure this still applies.

Hi Sally, I can see your sign-off line - switching status.
It looks like something went wrong here with the sandboxes, I'll fix.
