And look at the fantastic resources online (not in blogs/wikis, luckily!)
from test institutions in the US such as Chicago:

Library of Congress:

It's so helpful when trying to get your head round implications locally and
I'd really welcome more of this kind of thing in the UK too - sharing
documents by email is fine and very useful (I've had great information from
US cataloguers, especially via email/Twitter) but I do believe there's some
kind of cultural reluctance in the UK to just openly state what you are
doing and that's a shame. Worse than a shame, it's maybe a missed
opportunity?
All just my personal opinions, obviously.
