[Juliet McLaren]

Deborah ¬ Please do not ask people to use the (BL)
addition to the ESTC identifier. We are still and
always just the ESTC.  Juliet

  >I think that we need to use ESTC (BL) when that
  is the source of the ESTC record until the
  Standard Citations formulation practice is
  changed. I know that there are many people who
  prefer to have no parenthetical qualifier at all.
  The second option, of "ESTC (BL) ‡c STAR id
  XXXXXX" is inadvisable. I wouldn't be surprised if
  the display of the 510 as "STAR id" ends up
  getting changed.
