Hello! I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that a lot of people have updated their information on the spreadsheet. 2100+ visits have been made to the spreadsheet. The bad news is that I think someone accidentally vandalized the spreadsheet while trying to improve it. Problems found: 1. The second sheet -- Meanings of Headings -- was moved to the first sheet in the workbook. The reordering of the spreadsheets within the workbook is pretty minor for most people, but it really threw Odessa for a loop as she doesn't work much with spreadsheets and didn't know how to find the correct page. 2. All of the non-US libraries were deleted. (Odessa was working with the international Ariel custom holdings groups and found they'd all disappeared.) 3. All of the initials and e-mail addresses of people who had made changes were deleted. This is important data (I think) for verifying the information and tracking changes. 4. Additional columns for AV formats were added, but no explanation was given. I've reverted the spreadsheet to Chelsea's last edit on Thursday, 11 November 2010, and locked the spreadsheet to unauthorized editing. I am really sorry to have to do this. At the moment anyone with the URL can see the spreadsheet, but they cannot edit it. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AqUwtLajlUiVdGpyenVwdFB1UHR2N1p6X3dEZUc0eGc&hl=en&authkey=CLSorOAD I don't mind sharing, and I certainly don't mind people adding additional information/columns, but I do mind wholesale deletions of groups of libraries and columns of information. I suspect that whoever did this probably thought they were making changes only to their own spreadsheet -- at least that is my hope. If you have changes to make, please e-mail me at ill_...@mail.wvu.edu and I will give your information to Chelsea to make the changes. If the listserv community wants me to add AV formats to the spreadsheet, I can certainly do that as well. Let me know what you think about the additions. I would very much like to re-open the spreadsheet to public editing once again. Let me know what you think about it. BTW, Odessa is currently using the spreadsheet to update the custom holdings groups on ShareILL. She is currently checking and cleaning up the Ariel Custom Holdings page -- especially the international libraries. The Ariel group and Ariel by State groups have been updated to match the spreadsheet. Once she checks out all the international libraries and adds back in any deleted libraries, I will send a message to the listserv. After Odessa finishes updating the various Ariel custom holdings groups (ArieLVIS, ArielFree), she will create some Odyssey custom holdings groups. As she finishes each one, I will send a message to the listservs. Best wishes, Linda Linda Celet Bane Interlibrary Loan (PWS/PWSA) Mary F.
