• Linking to IA vs. BHL
  • delay in ingest from IA, but BHL metadata more accurate (should be, or will be)
• Scope
  • Only content from your library or all libraries?
  • Are the needs of BHL libraries different than those of non-contributing partners? Other libraries and other orgs have asked for a downloadable list of BHL digitized content. Can we satisfy all parties with one solution (please say yes).
• Format
  • RSS, XLS, CSV?
  • What fields?
• BHL as its own Library
  • By digitizing, BHL becomes the record holder for the electronic resource. You want to link your catalog to the electronic resource (856 or new record). Does BHL need to be submitting records to OCLC for this new manifestation? Can we?
