[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] OPAC Visible Question

[jeremy]

Hi Amy,
As Cynthia and Elaine mentioned, bib records for OPAC invisible items
appear in the staff client search results.  On the item details page,
however, the specific copy info (barcode, call number, etc) does not
display if you are in OPAC view.  Switching to the 'Holdings
maintenance' view (under 'Actions for this Record') should reveal the
missing holdings records.

Hope that helps,
Jeremy
