Haven't been entering anything in this box - until now. It looks like the changes only appear on the staff side, not in the OPAC. Interesting, but odd. I understand the mention of a url to be a generic way to get any url that happens to be in an 856 $u to pop itself in at that point. But if it's only showing up in the cataloging module, cui bono?

On the Item Type admin page there is a box for 'summary' and under that box it says

'Enter a summary that will overwrite the default one in search results lists. Example, for a website itemtype : <a href="[856u]">open site</a> will show the link just below the title'

I am wondering if anyone uses the summary on item types and what this message means. Why would I have a URL for an item type? Aren't the URLs on the bibs and items themselves? I'm wondering if this is a carry over from a much older version and is even necessary anymore. If it is necessary can I have a more detailed explanation that I can put in the manual please?
