To clarify, turning on the OpacSupression syspref enables the
capability to suppress OPAC display of individual records.  To
actually suppress a particular bib record, it's still necessary to set
the 942$n subfield to 1 (if you're using the MARC21 frameworks).

Enhancing the OPAC suppression feature so that you can specify that
certain records are to be visible only if the user is logged on to the
OPAC belongs to particular patron category would be useful
developments.

Galen
