The more material is available online…
The more material patrons expect to be online…
Which leads to the unrealistic idea that everything is online…

Some Issues: Complex Formats
Manuscripts and Books
Each page is an imageCan include transcripts
Serial Titles
Each page is an imageEach issue is an entityThe title is another entity
Primo handles these poorly
Designed for record=titleAdapted to handle imagesNo parent/child concept

Some Issues: Legacy Data

Problem from being on leading edge
Current best practices vs Consistency
