I agree. But once you update that minimal level record, I and 654 other
copy catalogers should not have to do so in our own systems as well
(assuming by way of example that 656 libraries with their own ILS
acquire the book). That's my point. There is the space for changing the
paradigms we operate under without discarding the intellectual effort
that catalogers produce.
