Thanks Jason, I think there's an increasing overlap between acquisitions and 'metadata' management, they may be distinct parts of the EDI/Shelf-Ready process but they strongly inform each other. Plus, I wish I was 'faster'  :)

Nick, lol, yeah classification is a day's discussion in itself and through my limited experience I think that Shelf-Ready classification is a problematic area - who is managing your collection the supplier or you?

Interesting that several libraries in the NAG report reported having spent time negotiating their shelf-ready requirments with suppliers but they were not currently receiving records from them. In my previous role at another library, I recall spending time giving feedback and in effect training one supplier’s staff on how to classify in LC. But I had to abort the process after very little imrovement in their error rate.
