Subject: NST/CASSI reporting

When I got the last set of CASSI checking volumes it became obvious that not
only did Chem Abstracts want to rip us off with their pricing, but they also
wanted us to do "their" work.  I declined to participate and suggested that
they get into the 20th century and get our data from OCLC.  We spend precious
resources entering our holdings into the OCLC Union List system and I
suggested that the folks at Chem Abstracts go across town and ask the folks
at OCLC how they could get that data.
