A MARC record has two dates in it, date1 and date2. Exactly what they represent is something of an esoteric mystery. But this will return them both, in an array.

AACR2 “General Material Designation” . While these are (I think?) controlled, it’s actually really hard to find the list. Maybe they’re only semi-controlled. ONE list can be found here: www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/onlinecataloging/default.shtm#BCGFECEG

#service_type_for_856(field, options) ⇒ Object

Take a ruby Marc Field object representing an 856 field, decide what umlaut service type value to map it to. Fulltext, ToC, etc. This is neccesarily a heuristic guess, Marc doesn’t have enough granularity to really let us know for sure – although if indicator2 is ‘2’ for ‘related resource’, we decide it is NOT fulltext.

#should_skip_856_link?(request, marc_record, url) ⇒ Boolean

Used by #add_856_links. Complicated logic to try and avoid presenting a URL from the catalog that duplicates what SFX does, but present a URL from the catalog when it’s really needed.

One reason not to include Catalog links for an article-level citation, even if SFX provided no targets, is maybe SFX provided no targets because SFX knew that the _particular date_ requested is not available. The catalog doesn’t know that, but we don’t want to show a link from the catalog that SFX really already knew wasn’t going to be available.

So:

If this is a journal, skip the URL if it matches in our SFXUrl finder, because that means we think it’s an SFX controlled URL. But if it’s not a journal, use it anyway, because it’s probably an e-book that is not in SFX, even if it’s from a vendor who is in SFX. We use MARC leader byte 7 to tell if it’s a journal. Confusing enough? Not yet! Even if it is a journal, if this isn’t an article-level cite and there are no other full text already provided, we still include.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
