Re: [IUG] Re: Headings report question

[Barbara Kriigel <bkriigel at umd dot umich dot edu>]

We were a beta site several years ago for the Millennium headings 
reports.  We found the bug with the catdate then and have continued to 
track it.  Because of this bug, our normal workflow is to print the 
report from character, clear it, do the work in Millennium and check off 
the headings on the paper report so we can see what headings didn't make 
it in Millennium. We also clear the Millennium report each week  The 
workflow isn't as bad as it sounds and because we frequently order rush 
video items, we don't want to miss checking those headings since videos 
tend not to be cataloged by LC, thereby having more authority problems.

If we ran our reports daily like Ann does, we probably wouldn't see the 
problem but for our amount of cataloging, a weekly workflow makes more 
sense.

We really wish this would get fixed since the character version works 
just fine.
