From Laura Akerman - "I searched for Chinese author : Lu, Xun, 1881-1936 using author/creator simple search, and limited the results to Language: English. When I further limited the results to Online Access, I got 2 results. The first result did not show any online access that I could see (https://search.libraries.emory.edu/catalog/990007044760302486) so I'm wondering if this is indicating a problem with the facet."

Is your feature request related to a problem or a change to existing functionality? Please describe.
It appears a refinement could be made regarding a flag for online access. Per Emily - "We revised the indexing on 856s a couple of months ago to not consider these “full text”, but it sounds like we’ll need to check on the flag for “online” in the facet is."

Describe the solution you'd like
All holdings with online access should be represented when selecting the "Online" facet.

Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives are considered at this point.

How will this impact users?
The impact of this refinement is large considering the number of users who require online access to a resource. This was critical during the pandemic when physical items were largely unavailable due to on-campus restrictions.

Additional context
This is something we would need to address as quickly as possible to represent accuracy of online items available.

@lovinscari FYI, we did some work on this already but it has not yet been deployed to production. We can talk to the team about how to get this deployed.
