My thought here is that no library can afford to re catalog their collection so
their old records will still have the GMD and we should show that.  So I'm
thinking an IF statement.  Show the 337 next to Media type if it's there but if
it's not then show the GMD.

I agree - the author should be where it was - no reason to move it up.
