Description David Nind 2022-06-22 22:17:13 UTC
When cataloguing on a UNIMARC installation, clicking on the ? for field help now goes to https://www.ifla.org/, for example for 500: https://www.ifla.org/#500.

This looks like a redirect from https://archive.ifla.org/#500 (the MarcFieldDocURL system preference indicates that http://archive.ifla.org is used if nothing is entered in the system preference).

I couldn't find the new location(s) for UNIMARC field help....if there is one.
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2022-07-16 08:10:50 UTC
It looks like the Italian version would work fine with MarcFieldDocURL, but most links, including to the English version are broken:

https://www.ifla.org/publications/unimarc-formats-and-related-documentation/

Then there is https://www.ifla.org/g/unimarc-rg/unimarc-updates/, but it looks like the full documentation is not (or no longer?) available online.

Maybe we should just remove the default URL for UNIMARC?
Comment 3 David Nind 2022-07-16 13:47:54 UTC
I also found:
- https://www.ifla.org/g/unimarc-rg/unimarc-updates/
- https://www.iflastandards.info/unimarc (but it doesn't provide as good an explanation as the narrative information)

Removing the default URL seems like a good plan!
