How will the new system address them? https://padlet.com/lesserknown/nvke6vnxn62z/wish/456092721 There are a couple of instances where Clues works better than Discovery--largely in the area of print items. 1) specific print items that are part of series where a series supplement may have a different call number than the rest of the series. I have found that in certain instances Clues records are more descriptive for print items. 2) Older editions. Say if we wanted to find the earliest edition on the topic of x in the collection. 3) call number searches. 4) subject headings 5) results for books only rather than books and chapters.
