Ability to assign or group target ages into a specific age group facet w/o manipulating records
We'd like to have ability to change the mapping of the Audn: Target audience (BKS, COM, REC, SCO, VIS: 008/22; 006/05) to a specific age group facet. For example, many catalog records have a blank assigned for target audience. Search results will include these records but they fall out when the "general" facet is selected. We do not want to manipulate these records to "g" when [blank] is a valid option. Also, we'd like the ability to group the target audience a (preschool), b (primary), and c (pre-adolescent) under j (juvenile) without manipulating the catalog records in our database.

We would also really like for the age group facets to come from itypes or location codes, so that we could assign (in our case) itypes that would separate things into juvenile, tween, young adult, and adult.

This is a critical enhancement as Vega currently rolls up titles that are the same, but for different age groups. This is problematic for users searching titles for specific ages.

Sandy did a good job of describing this for us. We don't see the value in changing metadata to comply with the vagaries of software. It makes more sense to manipulate the search in the software itself.
