--- Comment #8 from Heather <heather_hernandez at nps.gov> ---
I'm a total cataloger, and I find that trying to edit items via that "Items"
button on the left in between the "ISBD" and "Holds" button is, to me,
horrid--the resulting display of item records going endlessly down screen with
tons of white space is terrible--it's not uncommon for us to have dozens, if
not hundreds, of items on a record, and even where there are just a few items,
the display scrolls down and down without really clear delineation between
items--it's easy for staff to make mistakes and edit the wrong item so all my
staff is trained to use the Edit Items tab into the edit items table.  When I
have a serial with 200+ items, it is pretty much impossible to try to navigate
to trying to edit an item via that button.  I always choose the "Edit"
pull-down-menu button across the top of the bib record which is in between the
"New" button and the "Save" button, which
gives me a, to me, more easily navigated visually table of items with instant
access to a search box at the top of the table, and I would love for this
to be the only way to get into editing items.

If the "Edit items" table is too confusing for non-catalogers, then perhaps
there's a way to control the column visibility via their login so that they can
achieve an edit items experience suited to their commonly used tasks?  (There
may be already--I haven't checked--my staff is trained to use the Column
Visibility function).  I am generally in favor of a user-customizable
experience and one can customize the Edit Items table easily via Column
Visibility and the search box.

And it just seems like there should be only way to edit items--this is the only
ILS I've ever seen that has two different edit item functions.
