  Two servers means roughly twice the amount of work. Like JMBC, I
  doubt we can afford it.

  This we can do something about. Fernanda's money could 
  pay someone to add additional features is this area. If you 
  identify the gap, we can do something about it. We could 
  make it interoperable with a rclis institutions lists. For
  LIS instututions, we could use a re-useable (i.e. AMF) version
  of Tom Wilson's directory.
