I've noticed a hole in cataloging that some library might not deal with, and
others do, but it is certainly a hole for our libraries.

We found that the advanced search subtype limits (Audience, content, format,
additional content types), rely on the 008 field.  However, our libraries have
chosen not to fill those in, and the sources they download these records from
have chosen not to fill them in either.

I'm wondering if it would be a smart idea, that since these search fields rely
on this information, if it is not filled in for a bib record, there should be
some sort of warning on the bib record/item records in cataloging, so
catalogers are aware that these records are not complete.  In fact, any other
field that any search limit could rely on could have a similar warning for
catalogers.
