Re: [IUG] Scope uses

[Jordi Pallares Llorens <jpallares at cbuc dot cat>]

Hello,

We a Consortium we have 19 scopes.

Most of them are for locations some different institutions has his own 
catalog using a customized scope.

Few are for material type (electronic resources, serials)

One are for the old books (books before 1900): we create a different 
sope to show all the old books like it was a different catalog

One are to show the Special collections inside our consortium.
