There are three ways a record can be made visible in the public
catalogue:
  * Set the record source to a transcendent source
  * Add a copy with a visible status in a visible copy location in a
    visible library
  * (As of 1.6) add an 856, first indicator 4, second indicator 0,
    with a $9 subfield with a value matching a shortname in your
    search scope

If your record isn't displaying in the public catalog, and you have an
856 40 $9 SHORTNAME in the record, then perhaps something else is wrong
with the record or your configuration. At this point, without a concrete
example, there's not much I can do to help diagnose the problem further.
