It is important that the 245 field is used in order for results to display in the catalog
There are limitations to the display in the WebPAC if using Non-MARC records in regards to the title field. A MARC 245 tag is required for all title entries if it is intended for the title to display in a keyword search. If the 245 is not present, a keyword search will retrieve results, but no hyper-linked title will display to allow for navigation to the full bibliographic record. Instead, a blank entry will appear.
To remedy, when creating course reserve records, remember to include the 245 in the title field for the item. Course reserve record templates have been updated to accommodate this change, but when creating a new course record without using a template as a reference, a 245 must be added to the TITLE field.
To do so, within the New record form, click on INSERT and choose t TITLE from the drop down menu. A 245 tag will automatically populate. You will want to add a “1” in the first indicator field and a “0” in the second indicator field in order to ensure proper format.
Follow these steps:

Note that setting an "inactive" date for items on reserve, doesn't automatically remove them from the course. It just changes the status of the item.

, use the After and Before boxes to specify the earliest and latest possible Active Until dates you want to change. To specify a single day, enter the same date in both boxes. While you should be able to enter "b" for blank in the date fields, that option is currently resulting in an error. As a workaround enter a date for each field.
