Recommended WRLC Primo Display Norm Rules

The following are various Primo VE display normalization rules that can be used by WRLC institutions to display local WRLC Network Zone fields (for a full list, see the Local Network Zone MARC Fields wiki page). It is not a requirement to have these configured in a WRLC Institution Zone, but they can be helpful, depending on your institution's policies. 

For instructions on how to configure new display and local fields for Primo VE, see the following Wiki page:
