Walter has set up a BR (brief record) conversion on the fly template and
I've modified my circulation port record (CPCC) to use the BR format for
conversion on the fly. I've created a few records in circ, where they use
the proper BR format, but whenever I retrieve one of these records in cat,
they appear to be BK format.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?
To top it off, it seems quite impossilbe to change a BK format record into
BR format in cat. Try it yourself with barcode 3908009281343. It looks
like we'd have to go to BSTE for the leader of _every_ format and make
"type" and "material" for every format available in each of them.
Did that make any sense?
