Description Pablo López Liotti 2022-02-03 15:12:21 UTC
Hi, perhaps i don´t understand koha punctuation "rules".

The question is:

I put leader position 18 to "c" (ISBD without punctuation) because we are cataloguing in RDA without punctuation and this is the correct position for us.

245$a = Title
245$b = subtitle

Intranet and Opac interfaces shows me "Title(space)subtitle" when the expected view must be "Title : subtitle".

Is there any parameter or way for a correct fields format?

Thks

It's correct that LDR pos. 18 = c would indicate that, but that has been a more "recent" addition to the MARC format, so the majority of records still include ISBD punctuation. 

Koha has no functionality depending on LDR pos. 18. It can currently not generate ISBD punctuation for display.

Your options here are a bit limited. You can add the punctuation or try to adapt the display files, i.e. the XSLT files used to build the result list and detail page from the MARCXML record.

Thks Katrin for the answer, edit or replace standard XSLT files never looks me a good practice because we may lost koha updates in the future. For many similars situations with a Jquery or CSS "touch" it was enough.

The same problem then is for field 264 and his subfields. 

RDA manuals says not add elements (puntuaction) that not belong to the description.

Cheers

I think using CSS or jQuery is a great idea. I don't know about the RDA handbook, but the LOC examples for 264 include the punctuation:

Hi, 

I´d think that a "common sense" solution is put "i" in Leader position 18 (ISBD WITH puntuaction) for RDA and how you say, type punctuation in 264 y 245 fields. Looks fine in OPAC and Intra ;)

For me, the common sense is no add puntuaction to field content because there are not valid bibliographic description data.

But, by the moment, is a valid "transition" solution.

Thanks again and cheers from Mar del Plata, Argentina
