[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Email Notices, Action Trigger, Monograph Part information

[Thomas Berezansky]

As a general note, currently there seems to be at least one way to get  
multiple parts on a single copy, though that is generally "from  
another bib" and tends to be a mistake. I suspect it comes from  
transferring copies in some way from one bib to another and then  
assigning a part on the new bib.

Signs of this include parts showing up in the OPAC for bibs that have  
none, a copy showing a part not on the bib, or a copy appearing two  
(or more) times in the OPAC (once for each part). This can also have  
an effect on holds, allowing a copy to be on the potentials list for  
the wrong bib or to not fill holds for the correct one (when it  
shouldn't have a part but does anyway).
