[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 856 subfield u

[Elaine Hardy]

The library definitely has to be the same. We had someone that was
occasionally putting an extra space in front of their policy name so the
856 did not display as expected. Or the reocrd search as expected.

One thing to remember about suppressing the |3 is that it can be used to
specify which part of the resource the 856 applies to, and may not indicate
the entire resource. In cases where there are multiple 856s in a record, it
can be used to identify the specific material linked in the URI. For
example, a record might have an 856 for a TOC, one for an author bio,
another for the abstract, and one for the resource itself, all of which
would be identified in the |3. If just the link displays, there might not
be enough obvious information to distinguish them.

I personally prefer a text to identify the link rather than the link
itself. Part of the problem with the |3 is that it is so bare in some
instances, like the first record. I think Museum Handbook would be much
more useful than pts 1-3, but that may be more appropriate for a |y than a
|3. You can customize the 856 as you are adding the  |9 so that it displays
as you want it to in the OPAC
