Issues/Concerns/Ideas

• Makes sense to have on biographic record or connection between our record and the national record.
• Is there a way to keep the patrons from looking else where?
• Does the user have to be defined better?
• When does the user find the collection useful?
• Being able to pick how fast you need your material would be helpful for users
