Sandy, I'm not familiar with Follett per se, but I believe your disappearing titles can be explained in terms of the MARC record. There can be several tags for differing types of titles in the same record. The title proper appears in tag 245, the uniform title in tag 130 or 240, analytical titles in 740, cover title in 246, etc. Depending on the OPAC software, all or some of these titles would appear in addition to the title proper as it appears in 245. I believe you were seeing variant titles in the same record, which explains the "duplicate" barcodes and the joint disappearance of both titles after the removal of "one" record! Aha! Hope this helps. Jyl M.
