June 2011: downloaded full file of records from RAND; extracted ISBNs, Beth matched against Aleph; received lists of matches with RAND url, matches without url, multimatches, and non-matches. Sent Beth list of Aleph system numbers and URLs to piggyback directly into Aleph (no NET holdings); used Z39.50/MarcEdit for non-matches.
