Re: Statistics for Z39.50 saves/captures

I hope that if this is a bad idea, someone else on the list will point that 
out.

There is a bib record template (default bib record) associated with your 
z39.50 interface, so that default values entered in the template will 
automatically be included in all bib records captured through z39.50. You 
can enter something in your template to let you search for z39.50 bibs, and 
you can use the "created" date to find the bibs captured in a given month.

There are 2 problems with this that I can think of:

1) Make sure the bib record template associated with the z39.50 interface is 
not also used for some other load table.
2) Decide what to put in the bib record template to let you search for 
z39.50 bibs. Using BCODE3 probably isn't a good idea, since that is also the 
code used to suppress bibs (at least it is at my library). With Millennium 
Silver, you are supposed to be able to put text in variable fields of record 
templates, but I haven't tried that yet. Also, the text will show up in the 
OPAC, unless you can figure out some way to suppress it.
