We would like to know how the se libraries envision processing the monthly tapes for use in their online system. Are you going to load the tapes into a test file or some other resource file and transfer record by record? Are you going to try to run the tapes against the main file and somehow match records with provisional records? What other possible methods are you considering. Please be as detailed as possible. Thank you. Michele Strange Northwestern Universtiy Library
