Our consortia got rid of display of the GMD years ago.  The public services 
people felt that it confused patrons too much.  Icons are used instead.  
Unfortunately, integrating resources get no icon, so those are not easily 
identified as online resources.  On the other hand, there is a link at the top 
of the results (and another in the sidebar facets) to limit to things that are 
available online.

Subject: [RDA-L] GMD - where is everyone on this?

Hi, everyone;

Could we get some postings on what others are doing now with the GMD? There are 
lots of opinions out there on this, I know.

Accepting but not displaying in OPAC?
Displaying? Etc.

Some rationales would be helpful too. My librarian thanks you!
