Fwd: Re: yale link to catalog change

[Kimberly Parker <kimberly.parker@yale.edu>]

Fred,
	I have been in contact with SilverPlatter about replacing the current
check-holdings option that searches the old WebPac for ISSNs with the new
Orbis on the Web links.

	Unfortunately, it looks like that won't be possible in the near-term from
SilverPlatter's point of view because of the hyphen/no-hyphen requirement
in the ISSN.  Is this something that we could fix *easily* on our end?
i.e. having some kind of search that wouldn't mind if hyphens were in the
middle of the ISSN?

	(Note spyul-listers.  In the meantime, we still have check holdings in
SilverPlatter java versions.  It just is pointing to an increasingly more
obsolete version of webpac.)
