Ah, that's disappointing. The display of multiple 856s will be ugly
and confusing to the library patrons.
Thanks for the reply.

Quoting Mary Llewellyn <[email protected]>:
Jumping in here with a question about adding subfield 9. If we have
more than one library subscribed to an e-resource, can we add
multiple subfields 9 to a single 856 to display the bib in each of
those libraries' public catalogs?
You can add multiple 856 tags. IIRC they are repeatable.
Also, in checking the code, it looks like you're expected to add
multiple 856s, one for each holding library.
Also, in 2.0 at least, the shortname can go in a subfield 9, w, or n.

Thanks Dan,
It makes sense. But my problem is that the MARC record is not
displaying at all in the public catalog. I'm assuming this is because
there is no holding record, but perhaps I'm wrong?
There are three ways a record can be made visible in the public
catalogue:
* Set the record source to a transcendent source
* Add a copy with a visible status in a visible copy location in a
visible library
* (As of 1.6) add an 856, first indicator 4, second indicator 0,
with a $9 subfield with a value matching a shortname in your
search scope
If your record isn't displaying in the public catalog, and you have an
856 40 $9 SHORTNAME in the record, then perhaps something else is wrong
with the record or your configuration. At this point, without a concrete
example, there's not much I can do to help diagnose the problem further.
