That is correct Ted. You will still get
the changed records but if they only meet the criteria listed below they will
not show up on the report.

minor changes from the Change Report (R03)
John,
Just to be clear, it looks like while the records in question will not be
included in the Change Report, the records will still be in the files of marc
records to be loaded. Is this correct? Doesn't matter much to me
either way.

Dear Backstage Authority Control Client,
Your wish is our command!
Backstage Library Works is happy to announce an option
for the Change Report (R03). You now have the choice to ignore ending punctuation and/or indicator changes in the authority record
Change Report (R03). If you choose this option, an authority record which
has only been changed by the addition/removal of punctuation or indicator
changes will not be reported. You may choose either of these options
independent of one another or in conjunction with each other. We believe
that this will be particularly helpful with the Library of Congress’
current project of punctuation and indicator cleanup.
It is our policy to report the broadest amount of
changes made to your system. We understand that this may mean there may
be too much to review so we are happy to offer this as an option to you.
If you would like either or both of these options
applied to your on-going reports please contact your Project manager. Of
course there is no additional charge.
Concerning the Death Date!
Backstage Library Works currently has custom available
to you that would automate the matching of the death date when added to your
bibliographic heading. It is not part of the standard software and
because of the set-up involved, there is a charge for this service.
However, our plans are to create an enhancement that will be part of the
standard software. It is high in the queue, but I do not have a projected
release date for this enhancement. If you are interested in running the
custom it is $350 set-up and $350 each time it is run. So your first run
will cost $700 and each run after will be $350. Please contact your project
manager if you are interested in applying the Death Date custom.
We are excited to see the good use of the listserv
over this past week. I hope you are finding it helpful.
Sincerely,
John Reese
