Revisions for ISSN and ISBN searches #1260

Closed eporter23 closed 2 years ago

eporter23 commented 2 years ago

This ticket follows work done in #1226 to enhance ISBN and ISSN searches. After deployment to production, the ILL team has reported a few anomalies related to ISSN searches specifically:

0048671X vs. 0048-671X In this case, I suspect the inclusion of "X" may be breaking the pattern we expected. The ISSN specification does allow X in addition to numbers and hyphens.

NOTE: "X" is a valid character in the ISBN specification also.

11417161 vs. 1141-7161 In this case, our current metadata mapping for the 022 field includes both $a and $y which resulted in this record's ISSN being stored as 1141-7161 0008-0020

022    a| 1141-7161 l| 1141-7161 y| 0008-0020 2| 7 0| (uri) http://worldcat.org/issn/1141-7161

For better formatting, we should revise the mapping to be 022a AND 022y so that each value is a separate entry such as follows: 1141-7161 0008-0020

@bwatson78 @lovinscari looks great! This is ready to go to prod whenever that is next scheduled.
