[Koha] Marc Authority Frameworks and Record Displays

[Ryan Higgins]

Hi Ramon

Visibility in the OPAC, staff interface and editor is controlled by the
MARC Subfield Structure.   You'll find a link in System Administration
to MARC Bibliographic Frameworks that will get you there.  Find tag 080
and Edit Subfields.  You'll find a coded 'hidden' value, which is a bit
abstruse
at first glance, but if you click the [?] help link at the top right of the
screen,
you'll find an explanation.  If you set hidden to zero, the 080 subfields
you've
edited will appear in your MARC editor and in your MARC displays.
