Exporting, correspondence, reflecting, and more cataloging

Today I spent some time experimenting with Millennium and exporting, and writing what I discovered to Andrew, Cassandra, and Mark. As I had guessed, we don't have the 'Data Exchange' option for the sheet music supplementary catalog. Cassandra had been asking about delimiter characters in the exported records, and I had remembered seeing some options somewhere, but that was in the 'Export' function within 'Create Lists.' I didn't have a lot of luck with that when I tried a few weeks ago - I couldn't export the MARC records as whole records - had to pick and choose which fields I wanted to export. I recommended that we not bother trying to get the 'Data Exchange' option added since I'm fairly certain we'll get the same results we got with Innopac.

I spent some time reflecting and started a draft of a post called 'A few random things I've learned thus far...'. I'll try to finish that up tomorrow and post it. I'm sure there will be many follow-up posts to that one over the next few months!

I also started cataloging the next piece in the bound volume. Haven't done any cataloging in awhile, I kind of missed it.
