[Yulcat-l] SCIPIO & OCLC

[hannah.bennett at yale.edu]

Hi Steven:

Thanks for sending out this notice.  Do you happen to know if this database,
Scipio, will be fully ingested by Worldcat or will it exist as its own 
discrete
resource a la Alt Press Index, etc.

I can follow up on this myself but am wondering if you have heard 
anything from
OCLC.

Thanks,

Hannah
