[ipac] HIP 3.0 ISSN in XML? Inconsistent presentation.

[Susan M. Johns-Smith]

Jonathan,

in Psychology today, your ISSN is in the 022 $a.  In Labmedicine, your ISSN
is in the 022 $y.  I believe the $a is the one that the xmlcoding is picking
up on rather than the $y because usually the y is an incorrect or
incomplete one.  I can't say why the xml is or isn't doing it, but there is
a difference in the marc field and what the xml is reading in terms of
subfields.

Hope that helps.
