Hi Joy, I think this kind of information is really useful - was never wondering
about the why, more about the how! :)

What you list, I think, would even make several good features:

* Add a new serial type option selector to serials
    -Definable in Authorized Values (print, electronic, mixed)

I think something like this could be achieved with the additional subscription
fields at the moment. If we want to tie specific functionality to certain
types, it might be better to 'harcode' the options. If it's for searching and
display, maybe the additional fields already work well enough?


* Make the numbering pattern optional
  * Will add option for 'no numbering pattern' to pull down
  * Will skip predictor if this is selected

Maybe even have a checkbox that deactivates the whole section/fields used for
predictions? "Don't predict issues"

* Add checkbox to subscription editing to show/don't show 'Subscriptions' tab
in OPAC

I can see this being useful for print as well - sometimes there are
subscriptions where the issues are not publicly available, for internal use,
staff or even a certain researcher. So this could be generally useful.

* Add a link to full subscription history to bib details (above holdings table)
to the OPAC if subscriptions tab is shown

Wondering: I once had a library ask if they could track electronic issues as
well. I think the reasoning was that they wanted to inform the researchers of
the availability (similar to print) by email. So with the approach above that
would work, when we just let libraries decide when to track issues.
