----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Thank you to those who responded to my request for help dealing with the NOTIS system-imposed item record limit. After reading the comments of Mark Thomas and Debbie Lords, I decided to make a second bibliographic record for the same title, and split the body of map sheets into two holdings statements that NOTIS can handle. If this turns out to have been a really stupid decision, for some reason I hadn't realised, I promise to let you all know. I think that this, and the 500 circulating item limit, are big problems, that all of us using NOTIS must face. Are many of us avoiding the problems by barcoding only on the fly, or not circulating? This would be to deny two of NOTIS' advantages. To those not using NOTIS I apologise for what must seem an arcane an jargon-ridden topic. JK Herro Branner Earth Sciences Library Stanford, CA 94305
