KCLS Bibliocommons generates unusable tags

RonBurk · March 21, 2018

KCLS (giant library system spanning cities around Seattle) switched to Bibliocommons some time ago. On a MARC record that contains this:

650 0 $aSleep$vPopular works.$0(DLC)602181

Zotero (5.0.37) turns that into two tags: "Popular works.$0(DLC)602181" and "Sleep"

Presumably, it should have been one tag, something like "Sleep -- Popular works." Or at least, certainly the "$0(DLC)602181" should not be there. What can I do to help get this fixed?

For my own recollection,
Relevant MARC specs (650 and control subfields):

Most helpful would actually be a way to get to the catalog entry you reference above (permalink or base catalog URL and search string)

While the tag problem affects most KCLS books, sometimes other fields suffer from failing to strip the control sequence as well. Here's a book that gets assigned an author first name of "David A. $0(DLC)169114":
