I can’t recall exactly how we use it but I think we count on the default 
behaviour as well. I remember discussing this with Katrin years ago. 

 

But I also see the merit of requiring the biblio to be displayed because it 
contains links to the digital version of the resource. Many of our libraries 
create dummy items that contain links, but I prefer using the 856$u myself.

I completely agree we shouldn't introduce a behaviour change. I would rather 
propose being able to choose the behaviour, keeping the current as default. As 
we always do :-D

I was just asking because it didn't seem natural to me. And the use cases I'm 
seeing require the biblio to be displayed, because it contains links to the 
digital version of the resource.

I can basically reiterate what Katrin said; we rely on this behavior and I 
wouldn't want it to change. Of course, implementing an opt-in syspref is a fine 
alternative. Depending on what's appropriate to your situation, it seems like 
you could just create a visible placeholder item as a workaround to get the bib 
to display.

Hi Tomas,

 

we rely heavily on the described behaviour to hide the record if all items are 
hidden. It seems logical to me - what will a user do with a record, that has no 
items? They can't place a hold, they don't know where to find it, which library 
owns copies etc. To me it seems more confusing then helpful.

 

I think we shouldn't change the behaviour, especially because it has always 
worked like described and libraries might be unpleasantly surprised by a sudden 
change. Having the different behaviour as a configuration option would make 
sense.

 

Yeap, I filed this bug to deal with this:
