[Evergreen-catalogers] MARC Editor spellcheck suggestion

Correct. The format should be $a : $b / $c. Currently, it’s $a / $b. If there was a validation/check that flagged that either $b is preceded by a colon or that / is followed by $c, the issue would have been fixed before the record was released to the wild.

What I’m suggesting is a feature for the Angular catalog. I’m aware of what’s wrong with the record and will fix it. ☺

Wouldn't this be because in the example using $b instead of subfield $c?  It's looking at the "/ $bBy C.A. Fletcher" as a subtitle instead of the title and for the notice is probably pulling the 100 author field to complete the required information.

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?
