There is an option to enter a public note on an item record, but this note does
not appear in the OPAC for public view only on the MARC record.

Per a chat:

<nengard> Item public note doesn't actually display for items. Is this set to
not display? 
 <owen> Public note doesn't display where? In the OPAC? The staff client?
 <owen> Both, probably. I'll bet it only displays in the MARC view
 * owen edits a record
 <owen> I see public note in the MARC view both in the staff client and the
OPAC, but I don't see it anywhere else
 <nengard> right
 <owen> I don't know if there is a standard usage for that, but "public"
certainly implies it should appear in the OPAC.
 <nengard> hehe - that's what I thought
 <nengard> and there isn't a standard use for it that I know of - not on item
records
 <owen> And wasn't someone asking about an item "private" note?
 <nengard> so - that's one enh request for the my lists tab and one bug report
for this public note thing?
 <nengard> owen - yes
 <nengard> we had a customer asking about that
 <owen> So what would you put in a public note? The thing that comes to mind is
information about damage to an item
 <nengard> yep - that's all i can think of too
 <nengard> but i've never working in a public library - who knows - maybe you'd
want a note about an included CD?
 <owen> That information should be in the description already
 <nengard> when demoing librarians seemed happy about that option
 <nengard> yeah it should
 <nengard> maybe one has a missing CD ... which falls under damage
 <nengard> who knows
