Do we want to create an ongoing logical set of new records brought in by SCP to pull in updates manually?

Other questions:

Discuss whether a switch to centralized management via SCP/CDL would make more sense as a consortium

Import profile is still using indication rule to exclude records with 903 note “Exclude from WorldCat Daily Updates”. Is this still necessary?

Can we incorporate earlier updates/holdings placed to include pre- 01/01/2021 records?

Should we be removing older 908 fields?

Do we want to do a Coffee Chat/State of the Union talk about WorldCat Daily Updates?
