[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Format Selector Search

[Hardy, Elaine]

The 007 field will have the specific video formats. IF your records have
the field and IF it is coded correctly.

Thanks Jason

This is helpful.   You're correct that one of the things we need to do is
distinguish the video formats.   We don't think there's anything in the
fixed fields that covers that either.   So, what if we wanted to have
Evergreen search something other than the fixed fields, like a local MARC
tag, when it looks for the format selector?   We're trying to find where
it gets the data so that we can change the source of the data.

Thanks

June

Hey June,

It's coming from the MARC Item Form and Item Type.

http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/fixedfield/form.shtm

I think there may be something specifically for distinguishing video
formats, but I'm not familiar with it.

p    | Mixed materials
e    | Cartographic material
f    | Manuscript cartographic material
c    | Notated music
d    | Manuscript notated music
i    | Nonmusical sound recording
j    | Musical sound recording
m    | Computer file
