[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Is 264 field indexed and visible in 2.5 version?

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Trisha,

In terms of indexing, Evergreen by default does not index publication 
information, even when this information is stored the 260 tag. I think 
this decision was probably made so that a search for "little brown bear" 
didn't retrieve a bunch of records published by Little Brown.

We have two consortia in Massachusetts that have decided to make a local 
configuration to index the 260 and maybe the 264 (not sure on that one). 
The magic spells page provides some guidance on how specific MARC tags 
can be indexed -
