One area that will need addressing is non-print material. There are various codes/fields that could help identify it, but I'm not sure what data you will have available/ Are you using z39.50? Screen scraping?

Examples:

The wrangling lovers, or, The invisible mistress Microfilm F W5 microform: http://josiah.brown.edu:2082/record=b2889320~S7 look at: 337 microform|2rdamedia and/or: 245|h - anything with this field (usually recognized by brackets at end of title) cannot be scanned

Bruno Walter conducts Mozart M1000.M7 Q752x 1995 sound recording: http://josiah.brown.edu:2082/record=b2628079~S7 look at: 337 audio and/or: 245|h - anything with this field (usually recognized by brackets at end of title) cannot be scanned

I think we could get together to determine how to identify these -- and a number of other -- formats.

possible future work -- expose rda format fields to z39.50, do background check on item-api, and alert user that only books/journals can be scanned.

Example coded display: http://josiah.brown.edu:2082/search~S7?/.b2889320/.b2889320/1%2C1%2C1%2CB/marc~b2889320

See fields 245-subfield h, and fields, eg: 336 text|2rdacontent 337 microform|2rdamedia 338 microfilm reel|2rdacarrier

in meeting (last week) of BJD & BB, we determined that the best way to go about this is to handle it at the easyscan landing page, since a lookup on format can more reliably be done there than in josiah-specific js.
