SUS Format Integration Task Force
Brief View displays
last revised 11/7/97
As records increasingly use the 006 field to code for a secondary format, we need to make sure the Brief views of records provide more consistency and less confusion to patrons. In LTTF, notice that record AAA8633 is a serial format with added 006 for maps, while AAA8635-AAA8637 are map format records with added 006 for serials. Clearly, we want the Brief views for these records to appear as similar as possible!

Following are two charts indicating a rough approximation of fields currently displaying in the Brief views, and the proposed future display. Many institutions vary in the tags currently selected for the Brief view. The "current display" chart is a generic representation across institutions, and may not look precisely like your current displays.
