Collection development & campus faculty like it and think it worth the effort because of the comparison of what they were doing before. we also have an email form they can pull up online and send back with a request for a certain title and their account number. but yes, while cataloging could derive a copy of the online record into their processing unit, they usually do not as it is easier to take OCLC copy than clean up the B&T record.
