From @jbaxmeyer
I can’t transfer this ticket to you directly from LibAnswers, so I’m forwarding it instead. Information coded in the MARC 776 field doesn’t display in Blacklight. This causes confusion for patrons, plus extra work for us to investigate “problems” that are not actually problems. Please see also [this issue]. Are linked fields still a problem in Blacklight?
Original Issue:
[...] the main problem is that the public catalog (both old and new) does not display 776 notes that are coded for display (first indicator zero). In cases of a cease with a format change (e.g. print to online), the "continued by" information goes only into the 776 field.
We're indexing 776i. @mzelesky do we want to display this info in the catalog?
This would be affecting the "Other Versions" section, right?
My question would be if all of the links would still be in the "Other Versions" box, or if there would be different boxes for different $i
values. 78x serial relationships 77x (776 775) other versions.
@ellen-aa @caroldh can you please review this ticket ?
We will discuss this ticket during the Orangelight meeting on Thursday 8/29/2024.
Update after the Orangelight meeting: Links are coming from different $i fields. Some are related to other versions, some to serial relationships. This ticket is a question of how we should display these links in the record page. In boxes like ‘other versions’? With other versions? Group them in different boxes when they are available in the marc record? or something else. @mzelesky will meet with @christinach to find examples and create some wireframes.
There are a total of 1,023,691 776 fields with subfield i. Tally of bibs by $i value (top 10):
Print version:
: 421,657
Microfiche version:
: 310,859
Online version:
: 119,507
Source record:
: 72,961
ebook version :
: 19,339
Print manuscript version
: 16,639
Microfiche
: 14,398
Print version :
: 6,582
e-book version
: 5,434
Print version:
: 5,340
The top 10 account for 96.9% of all 776 fields with subfield i.
There are also numerous typos in the 776$i, along with titles and ISBNs (e.g., Ppaer version:
, Print versiont:
, Online versio:
) . I think it would only add noise to the record view, since it's entirely possible that even though the 776$i may say the print version is the other record, there may be electronic inventory on the other record (or vice versa).
We decided to close this ticket as it doesn't bring value. Orangelight meeting 9/5/2024
This might be difficult to accommodate given how the the linked fields work. The 776 is appearing under "Other version(s)," but the display value is taken from the Solr matched response (to make sure that the links actually work). Ideally the $i note would display before the linked record.
