[Evergreen-catalogers] Date display in search list?

[Mike Rylander]

Hi Janet,

As it happens, the staff catalog doesn't use much of the same logic when
rendering results, so it's not something that can be easily put back.
However, a stock configuration change to pull the date display data from
260/264 (or, likely, the MODS equivalent) could be done. This could be done
today on a per-instance basis, but would require a display field reingest.
There are other options, too, such as interpreting the fixed fields
differently based on it being a continuing resource.

So, in short, there are options ... but the "best" may be subjective.

Thanks,
