There were a number of areas in Matt's earlier visit that we glossed
over that I would like to cover in more detail.  What time does our
afternoon session start? 

I'm assuming that you will forward this list onto Matt...

I. Importing Records
    UBII, UBIX (p.5-4)
    CSMDC  (p4-7) as it relates to record import
    CSAS Control of conflicting authorities on record import.
    Indexing profiles (p. 5-5)
    Duplicate checking on imported records (p. 6-6)  I'm particularly 
      concerned about a statement on p. 6-7, 2d paragraph where it
      talks about how the system selects the record it keeps when
      there is a duplicate.
    

II. Brief records
    'Conversion on the fly (DCF) and how this relates to Fast Cat in
     Circ.
      Creating customized workforms for brief records (BCW)
     Managing and replacing brief records (8-8)
     
III. Holdings
     MR mentioned something about the semi-colon as an indicator for
     multivolume hierarchy information.  

     It might be helpful to spend a bit of time on complex mv
     hierarchies involving supplements and indices.

IV.  Indexing
     The stopword list and article list menus. How do these get
      edited? (DSTOP, DART)


VI.  Global change (Chapter 10)
      Could we go over this chapter?  


Eric would also like to talk with Matt about the options for indexing
serial call numbers.  Serials need to index call nubers from serial
summary holdings found in the (likely) 866.  Is this a B.Index issue?

As you can see, we have alot to keep Matt busy.
