The image targets for the one item were attached to both records. We requested the film, and the images will be resent to the platform.

When errors are reported for EEBO, they typically come through our customer service department and are routed to the appropriate people. For EEBO, these errors get sent to our Cambridge team (who maintain the platform) and they forward them to my group. For better or worse, the resource description pages are built off the MARC records created for the film product. When errors are reported, we review and correct the MARC records. The platform itself is only updated with the latest release. As this typically happens in November each year, it can be quite a long time before an error you reported gets a correction on the platform.</div><div><br></div><div>In better news, we are all working together to make this a monthly process, so errors can be taken care of more promptly.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Katelyn Borbely</div><div>Metadata Librarian</div><div>ProQuest</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Nov 18, 2019 at 5:01 PM Person, Mary <<a href="mailto:person@law.harvard.edu" target="_blank">person@law.harvard.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
