I will find a workaround to try.

]]> Comment on Conference name keyword search by Sarah Haight http://blog.smu.edu/opac/2009/09/03/conference-name-keyword-search/#comment-23 Sarah Haight Thu, 03 Sep 2009 16:33:00 +0000 http://blog.smu.edu/opac/2009/09/03/conference-name-keyword-search/#comment-23 Huh. Those are headings for a work about a conference. I think if it wants to be a helpful search, we should add to it the following fields: 111acnd (conference main author), 711acndefgklpst (conference added entry), 811acdefghklnpqstuv, and 411abcdfgklnptuv (conference as series author — rare, but shows up in older records). Of course, it’s another question whether we could get at this better in an advanced keyword anywhere search, which our patrons are probably already doing, as we haven’t received any complaints about this search yet. If this is the case, we could get rid of this search altogether. I would support that.

I tried the keyword “computer” and got a couple of results. Somehow, I don’t think this is very useful as it is. According to Systems Administration, we are using these fields for conference name keyword: 611A, 611B, 611C, 611D, 611E, 611N 611Q, 611T, 611X, 611Y, 611Z

Due to the nature of the workaround you are using– it is a quick workaround and not a full-on “fix”– that is one of the side effects, if you will. It has been fixed entirely in 7.0.2, so if you’d like the display to be what you are used to seeing, your best bet is to patch to 7.0.2.

Best,
