Since I missed the last 30 minutes of this BOG meeting, did you talk
about freezing the bibliographic database prior to May 22? The reason
I ask is that we will be using our old routines on OCLC until we move
off GLIS and since we get our tapes usually on Tuesday following the
prior week's production, does this mean we should start our new
routines for Geac Advance the week of May 15? I'm still hazy on all
of the ramifications of the cutover.
