Create Graphic Novel format
We would like to see a new format of "Graphic Novel" which would not roll up with other books that have the same title and author. It could use the fixed fields in the MARC record when the 008 is for books with a 6 in "Nature of contents" (positions 24-27). This would help prevent us from having to add our own manufactured subtitles just to get certain graphic novels to stop rolling up with the book version.

I have seen some Vega Discover libraries that do have a Graphic Novel format (see Middlesex County Library), so I'm thinking formats are customizable based on the library's needs? Perhaps it was just never set up for your library?

I suggest you send this request to Polaris as well as the Vega Discover product uses the TOMs from Polaris and the Mat Types from Sierra. (Samantha Cunning)

With so many novels being adapted into graphic novels now, I've been told it's very confusing when patrons are trying to differentiate between the two in the catalog. I think having a Graphic Novel format would be tremendously helpful.
