Has anyone using Voyager decided to do this? That is, add back 245/ $h gmd in the local system? I agree that the 336, 337, 338 don’t need to be viewable which ours are not.

I am not sure that part will continue, but staff will be very unhappy if we discontinue them. GMD in 245|h is used very heavily by circ staff when assisting patrons. We are also a III library, so icons work for the public display, but do not show in the Millennium view which staff use. Those miserable 3xx fields convey no comprehensible information to staff.

We're an Innovative library. The icons appear on browse summary screens to the side of the record, and, on full-display in the top right corner, after the title. It seems to work.

(2 months to go!) The best option we have seen are icons based on fixed fields, and suppressing 33X from display. Next best, I think, is displaying [338 : 336] at end of title proper (as per the MRIs), or at head of all other data (as per ISBD Area 0). If either of these is done, longer phrases should be truncated, e.g., just display "tactile", "cartographic", "moving image". You might consider suppressing [volume : text]. So far, most of our clients are opting to have GMD inserted. __ __ J.
