OLIB cataloging system item modification log

The modification logs for a bib record puts all bibliographic and item information in a single text box when an edit occurs.  For easier reading it would be nice to only show the fields/information that were modified. 

A previous catalog our library used would show a single line per change when an item was modified.  It would show the date | person who made the change | old value | new value.  This kept an accurate history and made reviewing the changes easy to read. As there is a single modification page for all items on a bib record the object column identifying which item was changed would need to be included. 

A similar table could be created for bib record modifications identifying the MARC field that was changed either in the Object column or in its own column, along with the old and new values.
