[Publib] cataloging playaways

[Meghan Miller Brawley]

Hi Wynita,

We use the code PLA to distinguish playaways from CDs (CD) and cassettes
(AC). We intershelve all audios, though. The medium is still sound
recording, and we put in a note that says "Issued on Playaway, a dedicated
media player" somewhere in the 5xx -- I can't remember which field right
now, but in the system details one.
