Re: OPACMSG examples?

[Elizabeth Geesey Holmes <eholmes@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We are using the OPACMSG to indicate items which are superseded.  This is
significant type of material in a law library and the OPACMSG indicates to the
patrons immediately that this particular item is the superseded volume.  These
items are mainly attached to bib records with multiple item records where there
would be, for example, a "current" volume 6 and a superseded volume 6.

Search for any of these titles in our opac:    http://gavel.law.uga.edu/search/
Law of distressed real estate,
Alaska Statutes,
Georgia procedure,
Burns Indiana statutes annotated

We did not chose the separate column. The OPACMSG displays in the middle column
right after the call #.

Hope this helps,
~Beth Holmes
