--- Comment #4 from Galen Charlton <gmcharlt at gmail.com> ---
Do we need to have the purchase suggestion form ask for the item type in the
first place?  Not all libraries use item types that double as material types --
for example, if your item types are 'NORMAL', 'SHORT', 'NO_LOAN', that's not
going to be of much use to the patron.

So here's my counter-proposal: since suggestions.itemtype is a varchar(30)
anyway, why not give it text input widgets instead of a drop-down list of item
types, and maybe relabel it to make it clear that the library is asking for the
preferred format (e.g., print, ebook, video, etc.).
