[MinervaCats] new z39.50 options

[Susan Winch]

John, thank you so much for following up on the new z39.50 options. I pulled 
some of our cataloging shelf-sitters down (all AV) and ran some of them 
through your choices.

Of the six, 
University of AZ and University of Hawaii  were the least useful as you might 
expect.

My problem areas are AV cataloging in general, but particularly cataloging 
for MP3's and for the superb Bolinda audio books we purchase (sales pitch 
here: this is a great company and the distibutor is in Maine). 

I liked these for the following reasons:

Public Libraries in Milwaukee County (MP3's and music)
State Library of Western Australia (Bolinda Audio is an Australian company 
and this connection gave me every title I needed! as opposed to our exisitng 
Australian National Library.)
Tulsa Public (Tulsa seems to be building a good Playaway collection and the 
music collection looks strong)
Hennepin County PL (music)

I think from a public library perspective the 4 PLs you've found would be 
great additions!

Susan
