[MinervaCats] Playaways to fix

[Ulla Messerschmidt]

Hi all, 
I made a list of playaways that need subfield 300|e removed.  Then can be
found in list #426. Feel free to remove the bibs from the 
list as you fix them.

>Ellen reviewed cataloging "playaways".  Playaways are self-contained MP3
>format sound recorded books that require batteries and headphones for
>operation.  Minerva does have a unique material type for playaways, "s". 
>The proper GMD for a playaway is "|h[sound recording], and the item is
>described in the 300 field as a "sound media player".  Please be aware
>that many if not most of the remote bibs for playaways include subfield
>|e, listing accompanying materials (batteries, headphones) in the 300. 
>This subfield should be removed.  Some libraries circulate playaways with
>the batteries, etc. and some do not.  This is a local decision, so these
>items should not appear in the bib record.  Remember, too, that playaway
>bib records should include a 538 field that lists the equipment required
>for the operation of the item.
