Additional Information

Example 1: add 346 field to display, edit displaycfg.xml

Add section for new field:

<!--added on {date} for RDA records-->
<displayTags label="Video Characteristics:">
<displayTag field="346" indicator1="X" indicator2="X" subfield="ab"/>
</displayTags>

which will display 346 with any indicator values, subfields a and b.

Example 2: Remove Notes from Holdings display; edit displayHoldings.xml

Find relevant section in file:

<holdingsTags label="Notes:">
<displayTag field="852" indicator1="X" indicator2="X" subfield="z" />
</holdingsTags>

Comment out the section to suppress display:

<!-- commented out {date} by ExL
<holdingsTags label="Notes:">
<displayTag field="852" indicator1="X" indicator2="X" subfield="z" />
</holdingsTags>
-->
