[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Searching for author using the link in search results

Tue Sep 16 10:20:00 EDT 2014

Eva,

Both |0 and |d are assigned subfields for MARC21 1xx and 7xx fields. |0 is 
for authority record control numbers and |d is of course the date. I think 
your problem may be that you are using an unassigned subfield for your 
authority control numbers, so Evergreen isn’t recognizing the entire field. 
I do think it is curious that it does so in the facets but not the result 
set – don’t mean to suggest that as a work around for you; but, as a clue to 
the problem for programmers.

If you edited all your |7s in 1xx and 7xx fields, what impact would that 
have on future linking to your national authorities?

Hi Elaine,

it is true that the author link in the  facet works fine in our catalog. But 
the problem is that it is quite confusing for our patrons if they get no 
entry  when clicking the author link in search results or record details 
although the record/s exist/s.

As far as I know, the same think  with author link happens to the library of 
Evangelical Theological Seminary in Prague  and they have the Evergreen 
version 2.5.3 (although I think they do not use subfield "$d" for date of 
birth or death, so the problem concerns the subfield "$7" only in their 
case), see

http://lib.etspraha.cz/eg/opac/results?query=matou%C5%A1ek 
<http://lib.etspraha.cz/eg/opac/results?query=matou%C5%A1ek&qtype=author&fi%3Aitem_type=&sort=> 
&qtype=author&fi%3Aitem_type=&sort=

My first idea how to solve it was to delete the "difficult" subfields but I 
am afraid We could  get rid nor of authors dates nor of  subfield $7 (at 
least because the subfield $7 is used as a linking  authority number for the 
Czech national authorities which we are planning to implement soon).

I  looked at MARC  records in  Pines catalog and I saw Pines uses subfield 
$0 for  Pines authority number (or something like that) with no problem and 
the subfield $d works fine in the Pines catalog too.

I only  guess the problem has something to do with the processing URLs for 
author link i TPAC template /openils/var/opac/parts/record/authors.tt2 
(perhaps in the template section ""BLOCK build_author_links; ...") and maybe 
as well in  the template /openils/var/opac/parts/result/table.tt2? But 
unfortunately I am not sure at it as I am not much familiar with template 
toolkit  :-(.

Interestingly, when you click on the author link in the facet rather than in 
the search return list, you do retrieve records.

We are on 2.5.1 and not 2.6 and I have not observed that behavior in our 
catalog. However, we don't use |7. I don't know if that is the issue but 
suspect that it is. Unless some one else on 2.6 that is not using the 
subfield has the same problem?

results

Hi all,

we had  updated our Evergreen to from 2.2 to 2.6 and I discovered the 
problem when using the link to author  in the search results and record 
details. Some  subfields (e.g. "7" or "d") of fields 100 or 700 are 
displayed as a part  of the link to author seach in search result or record 
details but when using the link no results are retruned no matter whether 
the records exist or not.

For example when I search for "Dominik Aubrecht" I got two record, see
https://www.jabok.cuni.cz/eg/opac/results?query=aubrecht+dominik
but when clicking on link  13483 Aubrecht, Dominik 
<https://www.jabok.cuni.cz/eg/opac/results?query=13483%20Aubrecht%20%20Dominik;qtype=author;locg=102> 
in search result page I  get the error message:  Sorry, no entries were 
found fo 13483 Aubrecht Dominik.

Another examples:
https://www.jabok.cuni.cz/eg/opac/results?query=lafollette
https://www.jabok.cuni.cz/eg/opac/results?query=odilo+štampach

There was no problem in our previous  version 2.2 because we used  JSPAC but 
now in the TPAC it works like this.

Do you have any ideas how could I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot

Eva
