For searching, ESI built a custom XSLT (attached is the SQL for
loading it) for one site to make using 880 fields simpler.  This
wasn't used in production because we went a different way in general,
and it's so special purpose that we didn't submit it for stock
inclusion, but it should give you an idea of what you can do.  Also,
time and tuits permitting, we're planning to bring the MODS 3.4 XSLT
into stock Evergreen, which has provisions for mapping 880s
appropriately.

As for display, you can use BibTemplate (in the stock JS-PAC of 2.1)
to display the 880 for another field.
