Description Chris Cormack 2010-05-21 00:52:03 UTC


---- Reported by gmcharlt@gmail.com 2008-08-13 11:40:51 ----

It is possible to construct a MARC framework that doesn't require that (in the case of MARC21) an 008 be present in a bib record - that's not a good idea, as all MARC21 bib and authority records really ought to have an 008.  Also, if the leader isn't specified as a field in the framework, a new record can be created that has the Leader/09 set to blank, when it should be 'a' to signify the UTF-8 encoding.

To avoid this problem, it should be possible to require (regardless of the framework) that a MARC21 record have an 008 and that its Leader/09 contain 'a', independent of the framework settings.

Koha provides sophisticated permission settings to assure that only skilled staff that know the ways of MARC are allowed to manipulate framework settings. Setting this to resolved-fixed. Can be reopened if needed.
