We'll continue to use it, despite OCLC's decision not to support it.  We've 
been using it for several years now and have conducted 3 complete 
assessments.  Not only do we have a great record of how the collection has 
changed over time, but the reports drawn from the notes still provide a 
great way to target weeding, updating and other collection management tasks.

We have been using the WLN/OCLC Conspectus database.  Is anyone planning to
continue using the database even though OCLC will no longer be supporting
it?

Thank you in advance.
