Hi Michael, I am interested only in the bibliographical data, maybe they have more recent dumps of other types of data. I encourage you to look around. And I agree, that it would be great if they could provide updates more frequently. On the other hand, I know only a very small number of libraries, that regularly publish catalogue dumps. One of them is the university library in Gent, Belgium, that publishes full dumps every week.
