BHA has always, since its inception, had a rather lengthy time lag. I am looking forward to hearing from a BHA representative about this subject. I would also like to know if they are working on any plans to revise their files more often, given the 24/7 world in which our patrons (faculty and students) work. Ray Anne Lockard

I would have thought BHA would have a representative reading this listserv who could give an explanation of the problem?
