Show original release date (for movies) / original publication date (for books) / etc
It would be really nice if we could prioritize showing the original release date year over the publication year of DVDs in particular.
This would probably be helpful for books too, but for movies the DVD publication date is especially irrelevant and confusing to most patrons.
Many items share titles, and the original year is an important way to find what you are looking for.
This information is often not in the cataloging info (I don't understand why, but then I also don't have an MLIS), but I would think it could be pulled from Syndetics Unbound or LibraryThing.

We cannot support a feature that doesn't use data from the MARC record to display data. A request could be sent to Syndetics to add this data to a book profile widget or something similar.
