[DCRM-L] ESTC available on BL web site

[North, Michael (NIH/NLM) [E]]

I have been using the BL ESTC database too.  I would be in favor of the
first option on Barry's list, minus the comma: ESTC (BL) |c W28314

Thanks, Michael

Subject: [DCRM-L] ESTC available on BL web site

I just tried the British Library web site and I found out that public
access to ESTC is now available:
    http://estc.bl.uk

The item I am cataloguing is, in RLIN
    ESTCW28314

On the British Library web site the number is given as:
    STAR id W28314

So it looks as though we we need to decide both how to refer to the site
and how to transcribe the id number
    ESTC (BL),|cW28314
    ESTC (BL),|cSTAR id W28314
    ESTC,|cW28314
etc.
