opac screenshot with 530$u

Marc 530:  http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/concise/bd530.html

This field is used for an additional form.  Some libraries use it to link to their journal databases for serials.  The 530 field has a subfield u which can go to a URL.  This data displays in the 'title notes' section on the opac and the 'description' section in the staff client, but it's not a clickable link. 

I suggest one of two things.

#1 - add the 530$u as a link that appears next to the 'online resource' label on the normal bib detail display in both the OPAC and the staff client

#2 - make it clickable in the 'title notes' or 'description' section in the staff client and the opac

I personally like option #1 but either will work since the goal is to have that url clickable.  We might also want to explore other marc fields that allow you to enter urls and make sure that all of those are clickable as well.

Unfortunately this isn't as simple as a template edit. MARC21 5** tags are retrieved through the GetMarcNotes subroutine in Biblio.pm. If we want to make a hyperlink out of some element of the data that's getting pulled from those tags someone will have to write a specific check for it.

Please note this situation also applies to the 555$u field which should also be hyperlinked.
Comment 3 Nicole C. Engard 2012-08-16 17:24:02 UTC
And the 510$u - basically if you click the 'is url' box it should link.
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2019-03-16 11:11:14 UTC
This has been fixed, all MARC notes fields with $u now show with working links on the description tab.
