Hi Nancy, all,

 

We currently use Backstage for our authority work.  We find them very easy to work with, quick to complete our quarterly processing, and helpful in answering our questions.  I am not sure if the cost per record is standard across all customers, or if it depends on the size of your database.  We currently pay about $.05/record.  I am sure the rate depends on what services you select.

 

If you would like, I can put your cataloger in touch with the person at our library who manages our authority control workflow.

 

Good luck!

Sarah

Subject: [SERIALST] Anyone using Backstage Library Works for authority work?

 

Currently we use LTI for our authority work but our cataloger is doing a review to see if it would be beneficial to switch.  Does anyone use Backstage Library Works for authority work?  Any complaints?  Or praises?  How difficult /easy are they to work with and what is roughly the annual cost (say, cost per record)?

 

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Nancy
