Changes

1. Include OCLC number as a choice in the list of searches on the pull-down menu that appears on the full record display. At present OCLC number is on the "home" screen only.

2. Display complete title proper (245 subfs. a, n, p and f) on browse results screen. Example: Connecticut archives.|pCrimes and misdemeanors,|n2nd series,|f1671-1820 does not display on a browse results screen for the title search "Connecticut archives." Only subf. |a displays.

3. Display the General Material Designation (245 !|h: [microform]![sound recording][computer file], etc.) on the browse results screen.

Example: Title search for "Reference handbook" returns four results, the last is a microform, but the reader doesn't know that until he displays the bib. record.

4. Re-implement the compression of long item notes to two lines, with a link to the complete text when it exceeds two lines. Examples: Norwich weekly courier (.b2204113); The great migration : immigrants to New England, 1634-1635 (.b23596715).

5. SERIES:

a. Display both series statements and series added entries. Do not display series-traced-differently added entries in the series statement position.

Example: the title "Effect of departure delays on manned Mars mission selection".

b. Display the label "Series statement" for 4xx fields and "Series tracing" for 8xx fields. Example: Search the title "Death is a festival" in the online catalog at Middlebury College.

c. Display subf. |v in browse results for series title searches. Example, the title search "OLR research report" returns over 7,300 results, undifferentiated in the results set other than by "year". Including |v will display the report number, differentiating the results.

6. Display punctuation in references and make punctuation, capitalization, and font selection conform to AACR2 practice. Punctuation and proper capitalization are integral to the reference and necessary for its intelligibility. "First Joan M Joan Mccarty -- See First, Joan McCarty" should read "First, Joan M. (Joan McCarty?) see First, Joan McCarty"; "Connecticut Infantry 29th Regiment 1864 1865 -- See United States. Army. Connecticut Infantry Regiment, 29th (1864-1865)" should read "Connecticut Infantry, 29th Regiment (1864-1865) see United States. Army. Connecticut Infantry Regiment, 29th (1864-1865)"

7. Display proper punctuation and capitalization in results.

a. "Political Science United States Study And Teaching Higher Soviet Union" should read "Political Science--United States--Study and Teaching, Higher--Soviet Union".

b. "Pritchett W Kendrick William Kendrick 1909" should read "Pritchett, W. Kendrick (William Kendrick), 1909-

8. Display the author on both sides of author-title see and see also references, including when used as subjects. Both examples below appear in search results for Twain:

a. "Adventures of Tom Sawyer -- See Also Selections. 1982" should read: "Twain, Mark, 1835-1910. Adventures of Tom Sawyer see also Twain, Mark, > 1835-1910. Selections. 1982."

b. "Notorious jumping frog of Calaveras County -- See Celebrated jumping frog of Calaveras County" should read "Twain, Mark, 1835-1910. Notorious jumping frog of Calaveras County. see Twain, Mark, 1835-1910. Celebrated jumping frog of Calaveras County."

9. Arrange chronological subdivisions chronologically, not alphabetically; the latter is incoherent. This is how the WebPacPro? arranges works on Greek history:

1. [A]Greece -- History -- Macedonian Hegemony, 323-281 B.C
2. [B]Greece -- History -- Occupation, 1941-1944
3. [C]Greece History Peloponnesian War 431 404 B C

The proper sequence is [C][A][B]
