[ipac] show due time along with due date in HIP?

[Stuart Miller]

I have never understood what the "Availability CR" display that appears
under the Results' Summary Item Display actually does. When I look at
the Display "Availability CR" we have nothing defined. The Display
"Availability" is one that has the Zserver descriptor on it--meaning
that it was added ostensibly for use by Zserver when exporting holdings
(I think).

You're right, you may just have to hack. We had all of our Course
Reserve displays set up by a Dynix person years ago and we've never
touched them for fear of their breaking. In fact CR "indexes" are not
indexes, but displays from tables.

Have a good weekend.

Thanks Stuart. Here's the weird thing. Doing that, I see two Item 
display times: Item; and Availabiltiy.

Availability I've already added Due Time to, and indeed that made it 
show up in our actual keyword search results. But not in the Reserves 
listing results.

"Item" on the other hand--doesn't currently list "Due Date" _or_ "Due 
Time"--and yet I DO have "Due Date" showing up on my Reserves listing 
results, so this couldn't possibly be the right display, could it?

Just the usual fun time with HIP I guess. I guess i'll keep hacking away

until something happens.
