Description Alexandre 2017-01-31 21:45:39 UTC
Another little enhancement for the Authorities module

1) Go to Authorities module
2) Clic on "New from Z39.50"
3) Observe in the search window that we don't have a place to search by genres (novel, science-fiction, roman, poetry, etc.)

It will be very convenient if we can have an additionnal search option by literary "genres and kinds" to help target the good records when searching. 

Then it will find all records with the same authority (zone 155) from the RVML.

Thanks again,

Alexandre from CCSR

A little correction, according to my partner Marjorie, the exact search term is "genre / form term".

This would save so much time if it were added; it is a wonderful way to import authorities, but the fact that we can't use it for "Genre/Form Term" means that we must save Genre/Form authority records & then import them into Koha via the much  slower "Stage MARC records..." workflow.
