More thoughts on catalog integration...

- All the feedback I've received from our staff so far express a strong 
preference to keeping the catalog view that is in the staff client as close as 
possible to the public OPAC view.

- Although you're not working on the cataloging phase yet, catalogers switch 
back and forth between the MARC view and the catalog view of a bib record when 
creating it / working on it to make sure it will display properly when patrons 
view it through the OPAC, so please keep that in mind. 

- Staff say that in an older version of the staff client, there used to be 
visual cues on the search results to indicate when a bib record was hidden from 
the public view (because it had no copies attached, because all copies were 
lost or missing, etc.) so that staff could readily tell what they were seeing 
that patrons could not see. This was lost in one of the upgrades. Is that 
something that can be re-enabled for the browser client?
