Please make the MARC bib. 245 subfield p from the bibliographic record available.
The MARC 245 subfield p from the bibliographic record is not exposed to Primo. This means that the data in the b245p is not available to display to users in the My Account section of Primo, to letters sent to users, as part of the requesting process and on pull slips for items. This becomes important when the items have 245a data that is the same. For example, when a video game has the same name with more info in the 245p like the ones below.
b245a b245p
Angry birds. Star Wars
Angry birds. Trilogy
Assassin's creed. Brotherhood
Assassin's creed. Revelations
Batman. Arkham Asylum
Batman. Arkham city
Batman. Arkham origins
Call of duty. Black Ops
Call of duty. Black ops II
This lack of data makes the communication with the patron via the Primo interface and emails out of Alma ambiguous at best.
See attached for examples of each of the issues.

Proposals https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176/suggestions/15668418 and https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176/suggestions/15668475 are duplicates, with additional attached examples on 15668418. Could they be merged to combine votes?
