If local practice requires it, a temporary bib record may be created for one-time use in a circulation transaction, for instance to track local loan of an ILL item received outside of Maine InfoNet processes.  Such records should be suppressed from view in the OPAC by placing the value “n Suppress” in the INITIALS field of the bib record. This will avoid display of confusing information to OPAC users.
