As Amy and Gary Bertchume stated we were or are running different versions of Voyager, but I understand Columbia recently upgraded to 8.2. (Whether it's it’s the same 8.2.x, I don't don’t know.) Our tag tables with local configurations for 9xx fields differ and would have to be resolved. In the short term I don't don’t view that as likely as we have very different approaches and local field definitions. Flipping back and forth or running two versions of Voyager simultaneously is asking for mistakes to happen. In fact when I need to compare a record in test to one in production I use remote desktop to the ltstestbox so that I can be sure which I'm I’m looking at rather than flipping back and forth. The remote desktop window allows staff to be sure which Voyager they are in at that moment. We have enough errors due to the tedious nature of some of the work. Visual clues should help to minimize this. We also have different MARC character configuration files which Mark Wilson and I are working on to include all current enhanced characters appearing from OCLC. I feel remote desktop is the more viable approach until we have a single LMS. --Gary (Branch)
