Based on what our customers request, it depends on what the local system requires. Some systems require a GMD (245$h)-- of these customers some ask that we retain the 245$h, even if they are getting RDA conversion. Other customers ask us to generate a GMD (245$h) if it does not exist and there is sufficient data in the record to know what it should be. On the other hand, customers with systems that do not use the GMD (245$h) ask us to remove it, especially if they are having us add the CMC (336, 337, 338)

Hi, everyone; Could we get some postings on what others are doing now with the GMD? There are lots of opinions out there on this, I know. Accepting but not displaying in OPAC? Displaying? Etc. Some rationales would be helpful too. My librarian thanks you!
