I have just added a somewhat related wishlist bug for improving the
Copy Notes function. Curious to know if others would find these
improvements would alleviate the need to publicly display local notes in
MARC.

I have added several wish list items we discussed during the
cataloging
interest group meeting held at this year's Evergreen International
Conference. They are:
Link to Edit MARC in record summary
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1297833
In the record summary, in addition to links for Add Volumes and View
MARC,
add a link to Edit MARC. Access to the link would be controlled by
permissions so that if user did not have permission to edit a MARC
record
the link would be "grayed" out and not functional for them. This would
allow catalogers to access Edit MARC functionality more quickly and
improve workflow.
MARC tag/field edit permissions
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1297836
Within MARC Edit, the ability to set permissions by MARC tag/field so
that
a library could assign editing tasks for a specific field to an
individual
user. For example, allowing a user to edit only the 300 field in the
MARC
record and not be able to edit any other field.
In addition to being controlled by permissions, the ability to allow
specific tag/field edits should also be a library or server setting so
that a library or consortium can allow or disallow the functionality
as a
whole.
Ability to display notes in public facing OPAC by specific library
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1297838
In library consortia, local notes (e.g. 590s) specific to an
individual
library's copy/item is not generally allowed. We would like the
ability to
make local notes in the MARC bibliographic record display in OPAC
searches
scoped to the specific library. We envision this to be similar to the
|9
in 856 fields whereby coding within the field creates local notes that
would then display only to the system or branch indicated in the
field.
This would also be valuable to other note fields as well. For example,
where different libraries have different use and reproduction rights
that
could be indicated in a 540 note scoped for an individual library.
These
notes would be repeatable with in the MARC bibliographic record.
For those of you that requested or supported the wish list items,
please
take a moment to add to the Launchpad report, whether to clarify your
request or to add that it effects you. If you did not request the
report,
please login and do the same, or let us know where there may be
problems
with the request we did not foresee in our discussion.
Please also let me know if I missed a discussion item you would like
to
add as a wish list or bug fix.
