Grant, Bug 140 talks about opac display of multiple ISBNs as run-on
numbers. What is meant here is in the "control number listing" screen
that you get when you do an "I =" search. If the record has 2 ISBNs
(020), the screen looks like this:
Browsing ISBN/ISSN: I=067040649X
ISBN/ISSN Title
1. 0670400165 Interruptions
2. 0670400211 In the footsteps of the Buddha
3. 0670401765 Ironweed : a novel
4. 0670406260 Jean-Marie Straub
5. 06704063090670019909 Jean-Paul Sartre
6. 0670406325 Jean Piaget
7. 067040649X0670406457 Jerusalem: city of mankind
8. 0670407275 David, Voltaire, Brutus and the French
Revolution:
an essay in art and politics
So this needs to be fixed somewhere, I would guess, in the set-up for
the "control number listing" screen. Could this be in Opac set-up??
Anyway, I suspect this is connected to Bug 141, which accurately
claims that when there are multiple 020s in a record, only the first
is indexed. If the system is trying to read a 20-digit ISBN that's
really 2 ISBNs squashed together, no wonder the 2nd one isn't indexed.
Michel thought this particular bug might be a B.Index thing, but I
suspect it's not.....
