Anyone using BBAS with the new RCL Web product?  Despite the training 
sessions, I am having a difficult time creating useful comparisons.  I am 
doing this on my own and I have little technical expertise, but it is 
taking one to three weeks to get a file processed after I send it, and my 
results have duplicate titles. My cataloger/systems librarian colleagues 
were not interested in sending all of our holdings over because the files 
were so large and they are not interested in invalid ISBNs.  At this point 
I am selecting one range (we use Dewey) at a time to send to BBAS.  I would 
like to know what approach others are taking in sending their holdings to 
Bowker.

Thanks in advance,
Suzanne Mangrum
