Yes, there is a lot of work involved since we recorded to tape rather than disk. I don't have a timeline yet because I'm trying to hire someone to do it (which will speed the timeline up considerably). Kevin On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 12:17 PM, Hagedon, Mike haged...@u.library.arizona.edu wrote:

Ya¹aqov, Identities is not based on a name authority file it is based on name data in WorldCat. These two are not the same thing. Names within Identities come from several different fields within the WorldCat MARC records including 1xx, 6xx, and 7xx fields. This is why Identities contains names
