Nothing unless I can access to the full copy of the data on the

Greetings,
i would appreciate it if you could please tell me if there is any research, or
output, or any program that gets statistical analysis of the LEADER, all data
fields, all subfields, controlfields. I would appreciate also your input on
ideas for what should be analysed, what would be

i have reviewed that, it is a good point for a start, but anything else that
goes deeper? Or any hint on what would be useful to investigate?
For example is there any meaning in taking into account quality control methods
for the bibliographic records? For example, from this file we had that

I apologize for thread-jacking, but I would like to agree with Brooke and
say a little more about the bad policy of late fees. The primary metrics
libraries judge themselves by are all related to usage. Late fees are a
very strong and very direct deterrent to usage. I know several friends and
I agree with both Tom and Stuart. It is an easy problem to solve from a
technology standpoint. It is, or least can be, a difficult one from a
management standpoint. If institutional support is there figuring out the
technology is easy. In this case, I'd start investigating the technology part
Another way to analyze MARC records is
https://github.com/marktriggs/marcgrep. Very fast but less handy than

Sorry, I'm not able to say if it is good for controlfields.

Is anyone working with a BeagleBone Black? [1] Or some other

to do a project with one but I'm having a hard time thinking of a

I like them. Use them if you want to study embedded. Processorwise they're
pitched between a smartphone and an Arduino. They have onboard DSP and

Sorry I'm a little late to the discussion.

many libraries?
Don't get me wrong. I can see why people are interested in this. If I had

more cost effective to do that in-house. It will just be an extension of

Well I guess it depends on why you're struggling with paper printing. If you
