[Evergreen-catalogers] MARC Editor spellcheck suggestion

[Carissa Malmgren]

Hi everyone,

One of the things that came up during the Angular catalog demo was that it'd be nice to have a spellcheck functionality of some sort. After running into several incorrectly-formatted records in the NTLC catalog, I'd like to add to that suggestion that a spellcheck/validation tool checks to make sure the correct punctuation is used between subfields.

Example:
MARC:
=245 12$aA Boy and His Dog at the End of the World / $bBy C.A. Fletcher.

Displays as:
A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World / By C.A. Fletcher.

Notices about this item display (and this might be just us, but definitely highlights the issue):
A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World : By C.A. Fletcher by Fletcher, Charlie

I'm thinking that, if the mismatch between the punctuation (: vs /) had been flagged while the record was being edited, it would be easier to spot and fix.

What do y'all think?
