Last week, during our webinar on Authority Reports, I showed a report in Excel format. The report acts as a legend for all of our available reports and corresponds to the various online profile steps in both the Authority Control and RDA Enrichment profiles.

The link above is to that Excel file mentioned from last week. I also added another column, based on a client request this morning, which tells you what we would consider to be an actionable item vs an informational item.
With informational items, there is no expectation for you to act on the data reported out. With actionable items, you are free to consider the data and choose whether it makes sense to modify headings or fields on your side.
I believe we are trying to get the webinar's video archived and available for viewing either by tomorrow afternoon or very early next week.

Hi Everyone,
In February of this year, I sent out a notice about a discount / promotion we have for existing, active clients regarding RDA enrichment. Since that time we have been processing full retrospective enrichments for existing and new clients.
As of now, we have had just over 90 clients send us their full catalog (or a very large portion of it) for RDA enrichment. This represents over 88 million bib records processed, updated, and enriched at Backstage.
We still have time if you are interested in exploring this promotion. All processing includes an extensive testing phase to ensure our system settings correspond to your expectations and online profile choices.
The promotion is priced at $0.01 per record processed.
We're including some of the same qualifications from last year:
* Clients must have already completed a Remaster or Basefile processing with Backstage
* Clients must be current, meaning Notification services were applied during the preceding year
* Clients must start their processing by December 31, 2015 in order to still qualify for this price
Our online profile can be viewed at anytime, by logging in here:

Another set of useful documents relating to our RDA enrichment can be found here:

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
Thanks,
Nate

During our webinar last week, I mentioned that we had been working on yet another report that may be of some use to our clients. This one was also born from a client request when I made some visits earlier this year. And then recently we had a client asking for a summary of what they've sent in and had processed so far through our dept.
So we created a report (see link above) that lists out exactly the number of records processed and money spent over any given time period you might specify. For instance, the above example covers what a sample institution may have spent with us so far in calendar 2015.
Currently, we can cover a span of time extending from to 2-3 years in the past up to the present day. So if you wanted to see what the last 12 months have looked like, we can generate that for you in case it might be helpful.
If you are interested in receiving this report, please contact your project managers, either Lee Ann Lavender leeann(a)bslw.com<mailto:leeann@bslw.com> or Stephanie Hansen stephanie(a)bslw.com<mailto:stephanie@bslw.com>, and let them know what time period you would be interested in seeing.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
