-
- This summer I purchased the dBase file of item numbers and class list from
- Margaret Mooney at University of California, Riverside. The file contains
- more than just item numbers and Sudoc stems, but title, frequency, fields
- for local location and selection dates, whether the title is active or not,
- and a bit more which I can't remember off the top of my head.
-
- I believe Ms. Mooney can be reached at:
-
- Government Publications
- University Library
- University of California
- P.O. Box 5900
- Riverside, CA 92517-5900
-
- Records from a dBase file can be converted to ASCII format, it can also be
- copied into a WKS format. At least that's what my manual says. I have
- created ASCII files from dBase files, but never spreadsheet files.
-
- The cost was very reasonable (about $60) and Ms. Mooney most helpful and
- generous with her advice and time. We're in the process of editing the
- database now ... its huge! ... to reflect our holdings.
