Maybe we still haven't had enough coffee:
In Nina's June 2 e-mail, a set of collections qualifiers as well as a
set of call prefixes was listed.  Some overlap between these lists 
occurs in Nina's June 8 list of about a dozen proposed qualifiers.

Does this mean that anything not in the June 8 list will be
eliminated?  We suggest Map and Thesis for the list.  We've all talked
a lot about the thesis qualifier, of course, so we were surprised not
to see it in the June 8 list, but maybe we're missing something.
Although map can be searched as a format, we think it might be useful
to have it as a qualifier to limit the total set size.  It was slow
today for us when we did a sample search on Africa as a keyword and
map as limit.
