More on Subfield $v

[Clarence Brown]

Thanks for the information.   Most of the original catalogers here are Bibco
participants, but received only a brief announcement that LC was implementing
the |v and looking into providing special training sessions for Bibco
participants on its implementation.    I found your training material very
helpful and am passing on copies to the other catalogers at UW Madison next
week, along with some other material John Weiss directed me to.
