Some libraries weigh their games on a food scale upon return instead of counting pieces.

Audience member mentions "local resource types" -- this sounds great for games! I'll have to check out yesterday's presentation on that.

Frustrations:
- no local tagging in consortia
- filter by game system (e.g. N64)
- shelving challenges (A-Z by system or LCC?)
- inconsistent image grab by ISBN

I do still like the idea of identifying record merges so that OCLC numbers in the catalog are up-to-date (and records are appropriately merged also) so maybe 019/035 would be a reasonable trigger to update those fields at least. #ELUNA2024

Interesting discussion about strong aversion to loss of data, especially in special collections. It feels like "a loss is worth 30 points, a gain is worth maybe 2 points." #ELUNA2024

Wow interesting -- after their experience with updating their local catalog with OCLC data (during which some good local data was lost, and some poor non-local data was added), they just did a big Ctrl-Z at some point and restored everything back to pre-data-sync versions. #ELUNA2024
