Re: [VuFind-General] Identifying *type* of URL in MARC 856

[Naomi D. <nd...@st...>]

Hi Daniel,

I posted our efforts along these lines yesterday.  It was buried in  
one of my typically long posts, so I'll repeat that section here:

url  (for fulltext)
urlSuppl_store
------------
We wanted to split the urls for full text from other urls for a  
resource (e.g. urls for table of contents).   We achieved this with a  
combination of the 2nd indicator value in an 856 and some string  
matching.

I am happy to share the code, the test code, and the test data I  
created.  It was implemented for the solrmarc import.

We don't have our holdings info yet, but we'll want to get URLs from  
there as well, if we have them.

If you go further with this work, I'd be very interested in your code.
