Comment 7 for bug 347736

No...not all Hank.

Your point is quite valid. I think however that asking a library to ammend their records so that we can scan the items is a long shot - worth a shot nonetheless :)

However, one of the by-products of our scanning of UofT items, is to bring to the attention of their staff that many of their records are in fact incorrect - to this day, as far as we know, those records have never been ammended by UofT. Records from 20 + years ago seem to fall into the, we did it once, that's enough.

In this instance for the Ministry of the Environment scans - it was known from the outset that we would not get records from them - their system and records are a complete mess. Thus, in order to get the funding in place from M.O.E and the Ontario Council of Universities and move forward with the scans, we had to query other catalogue's to get the records. For 1000+ items, this more than anything is why "add the second code on the
metaform page during loading so that we don't have to run an extra task on
the books" is so important to Toronto.
