Yep, I caught the license information but it appeared that they didn't really have much more than a list for you to use locally. More or less stated how you line up their headings with your local items is up to you. Probably won't pursue the cost until I know that it can be done programmatically versus human recataloging. eby On Wed, Jan 21, 2009 at 12:40 PM, Roy Tennant <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > The BISG licenses BISAC to institutions that want to incorporate the > terminology into their "internal systems"[1].
