Re: Fwd: silverplatter displays

[Andy Shimp <andy.shimp@yale.edu>]

I agree that the abstract should be included in the default display.  If
SilverPlatter offered an easier method of changing the viewing format (like
that of Ovid) it might make more sense to start out with a shorter title
display.  I think the accession number could be removed from the default.
I don't think it would be of use for ILL.
