Linda,

Hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong. I know this is the same 
behavior our system shows and we've been an Innovative customer for 11 
years. You'll find you can pull up the titles in a keyword search. It is my 
understanding (and this is where people may correct me) that Innovative 
isn't set up to index the 505 in the title index even if it is an enhanced 
note with the subfied t's. But I may be wrong. It may be we just haven't 
paid to re-index our system.
