NLS Cataloging producing language errors

More
7 years 10 months ago #283 by rfreitas
This is just a heads up about a cataloging issue I discovered on a number of recently added retro bibliographic records. I noticed a fair number of titles in the most recent retro records were loading with PGL/Other listed as the language, even though the cassette version of the book was clearly in English. I looked into it and asked Bob Axtell about it and, it turned out there was a recurring error in the MARC 008 field causing the problem. He's hoping to have the errors corrected before posting the next retro biblio records, but you may want to query for Language - Begins - PGL to find and correct any of these you may have picked up.
