6. Feedback we receive on archive.org - uh, should we be checking every once and a while? Sometimes there is useful feedback, or requests... might we also want to include IA download stats in our yearly (?) stats reporting. Also, n.b. Keri can correct egregious metadata errors found on IA now, if those were bothering you.- thompsonkeri Mar 17, 2010
7. Bound With discussion

• - lipscombb Mar 17, 2010 I get the sense that bound withs have been handled differently among various scanning libraries and over the course of BHL's scanning history. If you haven't already done so, please describe how your institution handles bound withs now and how you handled bound withs in the past, if there is a difference, on this page: Bound-Withs
• - lipscombb Mar 17, 2010 Bound withs in the portal that have not been scanned as separates present a problem:
  • these works can have multiple MARC records associated with them, but only 1 of these records can be the "primary record" ==> see http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/37939#111
  • in order for the bound part to become searchable in BHL, it must be rescanned as a separate item with its own MARC passed to IA, see Gemini example: http://www.mobot.org/Gemini/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=2964&PROJID=7
  • we need to imagine a work-around to rescanning that can address this bound-with problem...
