[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Searchable Copy Notes

[scott.thomas at sparkpa.org]

Hi,
  We are trying to gauge community support for creating, in the staff client, a keyword search interface for Copy Notes. We are a statewide consortium. Since bib records are shared, we do not allow our members to use Local Notes tags like 590 for very localized information like "In memory of Jim Jones" or "Donated by Harry Haynes." The problem is that descendants of Mr. Jones and Mr. Haynes himself might come in and demand to know what items come up, and we have no way of doing that (other than reports which cannot easily be run by front-line staff). Would anyone else like to see a search interface for Copy Notes? Also, what kind of information do other libraries and consortia place in Copy Notes?

Thank you,
Scott
