Description Barbara Johnson 2021-01-21 00:00:24 UTC
Add target audience to the facets. Patrons have told us that they would like to limit their searches to titles based on whether they are for adults, teens or children.  

The target audience is contained in the 008 tag in position 22.  MARC breaks down the audience more finely than just adults, teens and children (as shown below)  If it were possible to allow libraries to configure the facets so as to combine several of the codes into a group, such as code 'a' and 'b', to be displayed as 'children' that would be very useful to our patrons. 

# - Unknown or not specified
a - Preschool  Children, approximate ages 0-5 years.
b - Primary  Children, approximate ages 6-8 years.
c - Pre-adolescent  Young people, approximate ages 9-13.
d - Adolescent  Young people, approximate ages 14-17.
e - Adult  Item is intended for adults.
f - Specialized
g - General
j - Juvenile (Children and young people, approximate ages 0-15 years. The code is used when a more specific code for the juvenile target audience is not desired.
| - No attempt to code
