Re: IFTS to OCLC

[Noelle Van Pulis <nvanpuli@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Kathleen,

We have sent test records to both OCLC-ACS and to OCLC/WLN, and picked up
bibs and authority records.  I sympathize with your ftp woes.  I will be
going to ALA, returning next week.  I would be glad to try to help you.  

We have tried to stick with file sizes no larger than 40,000.
