MARC field 382 should be searchable
The MARC field 382 (Medium of performance) should be searchable in Alma and Primo. The problem is acute for Finnish music libraries in Alma, because the field contains information about the instruments and/or voices in composition, but the field is not indexed in Alma. We had last autumn in Finland a large-scale subject headings conversion that greatly increased the amount of 382 fields. Then we were still in Voyager where the field is searchable. We hope that it would be so also in Alma.

008 MARC field in authority records
MARC 008 in authority records is not expandable and makes it nearly impossible to identify the appropriate codes with the information they carry. It would very helpful to have the functionality of opening/expanding the 008 string in all authority records (subjects, names, genre, demographic terms)
