4) Cornell original catalogers are addign FAST headings as part of their procedure using a web tool.
5) Discussion on mixed practices of 948 fields - Columbia does not count batch loads or use for acquisitions collection statistics or for record manipulation - At Columbia it is only used for cataloging production replacing the use of manual sheets.
6) POOF is being developed to possibly report lost and missing items and direct these to selectors to decide if re-orders are wanted. The WCS MATRIX would be used to generate orders.
7) Columbia suggested that perhaps ISBN displays in POOF could function as they do in GOBI and that links outward would search the OPAC?
8) A better preliminary interface is being investigated for POOF, including adding RDA values.
