I don't love the idea of a title note, either, but we're also not using serials yet, so I'm coming from the same place as Elaine on that. To me if it applies to all copies, that is what the bib record is for. I don't like the idea of storing information about the title in two separate places. What goes where gets confusing. But per org unit does seem like it might be useful.
Jason, not sure about the stat cat idea. Is the idea to make stat cats do all the things we do with copy notes, and then eliminate the need for copy notes? It seems like it has possibilities, but only if it would be easy to transfer all the existing data from copy notes to stat cats. I do think the repeatable function of notes is pretty important, though.
Elaine, that's kind of what I envision for templates, too: basically that it's text strings you store that you could apply to notes, and then edit as desired.
