Description Mathieu Saby 2013-01-22 15:55:04 UTC

I copy here a discussion held some days ago in koha-devel list

> Mathieu Saby <mathieu.saby@univ-rennes2.fr>
>   
Today, information about serial is only stored in MySQL database. 
As as consequence, callnumber, holding library, location, notes are not searchable in OPAC, because Zebra cannot index them.
One solution could be to copy serial information in Marc structure as does, for example, Sudoc network in France (955 field is used : http://documentation.abes.fr/sudoc/formats/loc/zones/955.htm ) 
What do you think about it?

M. Saby :

I think there is a standard used in Marc21 format for holdings : ISO 10324
http://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hdintro.html
http://www.itsmarc.com/crs/mergedProjects/holdings/holdings/appendix_d_ansi_niso_z39_71_and_iso_10324_data_elements.htm

There is something similar for Unimarc

BUT... it is not used in France

I wonder if the work on holdings records could be helpful in this context. Adding a see also on bug 20447.

As we work in a union catalog setting where local information in Koha would be overwritten by incoming new versions of the record, the holding records seem like a good solution. Another might be to handle this like items, where the information is only inserted at the time of indexing or exporting.
