Re: 019 overlay and index question

[Jeffrey Trimble <jtrimble at cc dot ysu dot edu>]

Yes, it is possible under the following conditions:

1.  019 is indexed in your OCLC # index.  (It means you can also find the 
019s in that
index.) They may or may display on your OPAC at that point.  (Ours do not)

2.  Your MARC Load profile will need to be adjusted.  If your site has 
someone who is
trained to write Load Profiles, that is not a problem.  If not, you would 
need to contact
the help desk to have your Load Profile edited/changed.
