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.

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.
