Description Barbara Johnson 2023-10-26 14:24:11 UTC
On the additems.pl page only the 245a field from the title displays. It would be helpful to add additional subfields for subtitle (245b), part number (245n) and part name (245p). Also adding the general material designation (245h) for libraries that are still using it in their records. Being able to see the entire title would make cataloging easier, more accurate and more efficient.

Use case: libraries have a lot of repeating titles where the only distinguishing information is in the subtitle (ex. Dog Man) or part number (ex. Yellowstone TV series)  Seeing only the title info from the 245a on the additems.pl screen can cause confusion about whether the correct record is being viewed.  This has sometimes led staff to attach items to the incorrect bib or have to click back to the bib record to verify which Dog Man title they are viewing.
