Update #3: SCLENDS and the BDC

Alas, we have as yet been unable to resolve on-going problems with SCLENDS records for Beaufort District Collection materials. We are still measuring the depth and scope of the problems, searching for patterns behind what has gone awry, reporting any errors we find to the SCLENDS consortium, and devising a plan to mount the attack to fix the issues as efficiently as possible.

Therefore, 2 months after the "Go Live" date (May 28th), we must continue with Plan "B":

If you can't find what you are looking for on topics of local history, culture, and environment within the SCLENDS catalog (i.e., those topics that fall within the responsibilities of this department), just give us a call at 470-6525 or e-mail me at gracec@bcgov.net with your specific questions regarding BDC and local history holdings.


We'll do our best to try to help you in spite of our continuing database problems.
