<p class="MsoNormal">I answered more generally on the Alma list, but in terms of special collections cataloging, I can't imagine trying to do that in Alma. In particular, searching for records with Alma's very limited external search options would be a nightmare.
The availability of macros, and the methodology for entering special characters and diacritics, is also much more robust and efficient in OCLC Connexion.<o:p></o:p></p>

that did this, or contemplated doing it? Was your subscription kept or not, and what was the reasoning behind the decision? What tools or platforms did you use, or consider using, instead of OCLC? Were the needs of special collections cataloging taken into
account? If it was cancelled, what kind of fallout did your institution experience? I'm particularly interested in outcomes for special collections cataloging, but general cataloging would help as well. On- or off-list responses are welcome.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
