Changes

Change # refers to corresponding card # on the Trello Board.

Notes

#103 and #113 didn't work due to oversight in norm rule.

#104 created search and display problems.

All three will be fixed with follow-up renorm during the long July 4th weekend.

#	Change	Description	Examples	Implementation notes
55	Experimental boost to title	Journal titles appear to be boosted due to an out-of-the-box norm rule that adds the main title (245\|a) twice to the title search index. Doing the same for other material types.		Removed the conditional logic (limiting this only to journals) on the first several rules in the title search norm rule set
103	Binding note field	563		Need to add new field to view settings to see it.
104	Personal author in "last, first" order	Use 100\|a and 700\|a as-is, rather than extracting first and last name	Java keyword search	Disabled the rules with 'get author first name' and 'get author last name' transformations, and added subfield 'a' to the next rule, which otherwise includes the remaining subfields. For both the creator and contributor display fields. No change necessary for search.
105	Create separate pub date for serials	So we can hide or display journal pub date separately		Removed date for serials from main pub date field. Created new field just for serials pub date. Need to add new field to view settings to see it.
106	Do not merge VHS and DVD records	Add to merge-dedupe configuration	As good as it gets (production)	Couldn't find example in sandbox; will have to test in production.
108	Additional links for Eigenfactor & Scimago	Links for searching journal ranking sites	Australian journal of education	Links are simply to ISSN searches on these sites (no guarantee of results)
110	Serials publication frequency and dates fields	Display 310, 321, and 362 fields (serials)		Need to add new field to view settings to see it.
111	Create separate course title field	Otherwise course information (CNO) is sometimes deprecated in a merged record		Need to add new field to view settings to see it.
112	Restore 'audio visual' designation	Was disabled in a previous renorm by mistake, now restored.
113	Remove trailing semicolon on series field	Otherwise, link fails to find the other members of the series	Critical gov't documents (production)
114	Subject search align with display	6XX fields with second indicators 0, 1, 2. It was reported that including other thesauri in the search index was affecting relevancy.	A simple all-CSU search for Zeichentrickfilm in sandbox returns no results. The same search in production returns 102 results. This is a gnd subject term (second indicator 7)
