[DCRM-L] Citing the new ESTC

[John Overholt]

That's how I understood him when he said "Is it worth using anything 
other than unqualified "ESTC", at least for the online resources?" I've 
always thought that the qualifier was a little excessive, and I haven't 
used it in my Hyde records. Plus, I've been pining after the 510 browse 
index Bob has set up for his catalog, and the qualifiers, to my way of 
thinking, split up that file while adding to its usefulness marginally, 
if at all.
