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.
