Re: Course Reserve 856 display

[almag <almag@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I looked at the documentation for the webpub.def. The only valid record 
types are bib, item and check records.  The course reserve records are 
record type r so the webpub.def file can not be used to change the 
location of the 856.  Does this sound right, or has anyone else gotten 
it to work?
