In the MARC record it is in a separate subfield and can be dropped from indexing and/or display. Coding is everything -- data elements that are separately coded can be given separate treatment. I agree with you that the medium designation (i.e. "electronic resource"), which is a subfield $h of the MARC title field, should be separately coded in MODS or dropped altogether. kc ********************************* Karen Coyle California Digital Library [log in to unmask] 510-987-0567 *********************************
