has agreed upon retention criteria and we'll present these scenarios to the MI-SPI governing board on October 5th. With their approval, we'll be able to move forward with OCLC. I believe we found a good model that doesn't over burden any one library. OCLC
will assist anyone who wants to tweak their allocations after the lists are distributed (if your list is too big, they will work with you to make it smaller).</span></font></div>
