I attended a class--don't ask me where because with webinars, podcasts and conferences, I am not sure where--I complained about the related places not being available on the new catalog. They said that when the catalog is completed, we will be able to see those again. Maybe not as Related places but they will be there. I have seen that more and more counties are showing up when there is a drop down menu. The catalog is still in beta test and changing all the time. Let's keep giving them the feedback they are asking for.

That's good news! and Pam, I agree with you.  Sometimes the records are horrible to read and as an arbitrator sometimes we see a third possibility too...  It's a wonder FSI is able to coordinate that many helpful people and produce a cohesive and pretty accurate work for researchers to go through!
