I have another round of UAT to share with you all - this time on browsing Instance-level classification numbers. The plan is to run this UAT from today, June 10th, until Monday, June 17th. A form with testing instructions and details can be found here: UAT: Browse instance classification
As you can, please take some time to follow the instructions in the UAT form, test out these recent updates, and submit your responses. Your feedback is most appreciated and we look forward to hearing your thoughts. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! (Christine Schultz-Richert, @christinesr). Thank you!
Two MM specific WOLFcon sessions have been approved:

How do libraries manage e-resource packages in Inventory?
UMass: They use the 035 9\ to put in unique codes to group records into sets
GBV: They add the ISIL package code (and license year, if applicable) in a local 9XX field, e.g. 912 __ $a ZDB-2-SWI $b 2024. The value of $a and $b are mapped into the instance identifier array with a dedicated identifier type. For each package there will be a dedicated instance record as well, decribing the package.
Inventory ↔︎ Agreements interaction and linking
POL’s can be attached to agreement lines. Is there a need to attach instance records to agreement lines?
There has been a discussion about adding a reference to the agreement/agreement line/license in the holdings record in the App Interaction SIG over the last few weeks. How does that fit in?
The working group got an update on the Lists App and new fields that have been added for creating lists for Instances, Holdings, Items, Organizations, and purchase orders.
