RE: [IUG] search engines & OPAC

Sara,
	We had 3 search engines are crawling with little performance issue,
though we have subsequently blocked access.  Just be aware that you will not
be able to determine what's search engine traffic and what's normal traffic
in your statistics.

Is anyone letting search engines, such as Google or Yahoo, harvest records
from your catalog?  If yes, what has been the impact on system
performance?  Have you found that users of search engines are finding
unique materials from your catalog?

thanks, Sara
