Just a quick comment on Classify.
Yes, it is certainly worth trying, and we had an interesting talk the week before last at Boston Spa, which mentioned it, and yes there are no plans to withdraw it - but on the contrary to expand it.
But don't forget that it is a tool of "last resort" rather than "first resort". And, as someone pointed out, the large cluster of the same numbers in the pie chart could be due to everyone deriving the same record,

I echo that feeling! We haven't used Classify yet, but I have plans for the future that include making the most of it!

Hi Gill
I recently came across Classify from OCLC. It looks really useful, but describes itself as an experimental classification web service. Does this mean that it will be withdrawn at some point? I do hope not.
