This study told us what fields were in records, not whether those
fields were utilized in OPACs. MARC has a wealth if information never
put to practical use. Which fields were coded is fairly useless
information.
A study of what fields OPACs actually use might be helpful, but that
still does not tell us what fields might be helpful to patrons if they
were utilized,'
