Re: NOTIS Holdings Displays

At the University of Virginia we have dealt with the problem
of limited OPAC display from the Volume Holdings Record (VHLD)
in Notis version 5.0 by creating several copy lines with the
same location and spreading the holdings across several copies.
The patron can then see all of the holdings for one location
under the LIBRARY HAS: label.
Once we load Notis version 5.1 we will move the holdings for
the one location back to one copy line/VHLD record.
Since extensive holdings for a title usually are not held
by numerous locations (at least at our institution) this
temporary solution has served us well. There are, of course,
Order record and item record linkage problems that may
limit some libraries in making such an adaptation to
the dearth of display characters (850, I believe) in
the OPAC from the VHLD record.
