Catalogue change info
OK. It has become apparent to me that
one or two long standing members that
have taken discs from the pool in the
past are now unsure as to whether they
have certain discs in the pool or not.
The reason for this is that I
renumbered some of the discs in the
pool.
8BS had collected a few BBC PD discs
and I had given these discs a catalogue
number starting at 1 not realising that
later I would be receiving the whole
collection from Alan Blundell.
Later arrived and, yes you guessed it
Alan Blundell kindly sent a large box
of discs to me. Rather than confuse the
issue completely and continue giving
these discs my own number, I decided
that it would be far better to use the
BBC PD catalogue numbers.
So this I did, removed all the old BBC
numbers from the 8BS catalogue and gave
these entries their original BBC PD
numbers. I could then insert the rest
of the discs I had been sent into the
catalogue. As I was doing this I
realised that a large number of the
discs in other sections of the 8BS
catalogue were also duplicated in the
BBC PD collection.
A number of entries were then removed
from other sections of the catalogue
(mainly the TBI and JJF PD section).
I knew that this was going to cause
problems. Firstly, the changeover. I
was going to get orders from people
asking for BBC-5 for instance would
this be the old 5 or the new 5?
Fortunately there were very few
problems here as most people use the
order form correctly and not only give
the disc catalogue number but also its
title.
However, another problem crops up now
and again when the occasional member
finds difficulty in knowing whether
they have for instance the old BBC-25
or the new BBC-25.
This info is for these members. Use the
following info to renumber your discs
so that in future you know which
catalogue entries you have.
The first number was the old 8BS BBC
catalogue number, the second is the new
BBC number.
