- Description
A small Perl script that can be used to generate a report of invalid subfield codes for cataloguers to check.
The script runs on the server and creates a report of BIB records that have non-alphanumeric subfield codes. It does not validate subfields per field, but tries to find cases where the code is definitely invalid.
