Description Katrin Fischer 2016-03-03 16:09:47 UTC
For some titles the 245$a (MARC21) is not specific enough and it would be necessary to include the 245$b information in the notices, that is currently not mapped in the database.

Apart from 245$b (remainder of title) other information like 245$n/$p for volumes would be nice to have.

This was reported by a library using serial claims - where the title is often the same and the correct serial can only be identified with the help of additional information.

This issue is quite relevant not only for notices, but for the entire usage of the "title" in the biblio table. It is used in quite a few places and 245$a alone is much too limiting to be useful, both for staff and OPAC.

A useful thing would be to be able to configure the subfields stored in the "title" database column, much like you can for example with the AlternateHoldingsField preference. I realise these aren't anywhere near similar in complexity though.

I'd still like to see more complete title information in a lot of places in Koha - one way we do this is by the Keyword-2-Marc-Mapping and using the subtitle keyword. We usually configure 245$b$n$p there.
Comment 3 Hugh Rundle 2018-06-26 12:03:57 UTC
Katrin are you suggesting allowing the use of `subtitle` in notices like you can use it in page templates, allowing each library to decide which subfields it wants to have available?
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2018-06-26 13:42:31 UTC
Hi Hugh, I think that would be nice. The other idea would be to be able to specify MARC fields to pull in, but it might get much more complicated to handle.
