For customer that are using the UNIMARC bibliografic standard, the angle brackets are used to hide the initial article of title, to correctly index the title on the first significant word of the title.

For example:

The >>practice of thermodynamic air conditioning and heating / Patrick Jacquard, Serge Sandre

<<The >> Essence of Public International Law / Catherine Roche

To remove them you have to:

  1. Go to the Normalization rules in your Alma at:

Discovery - Display Configuration - Manage Display and Local Fields

  2. Check if the following lines are missing in total or partially at the of the drool:

 

remove string (TEMP"1","<<")

remove string (TEMP"1",">>")

 

  1. If they miss, add them and save and apply the rules

The <<>> will disappear
