Compare bibs with an outside source - Leap
We would like the ability to compare bibliographic records in Leap with ones from an outside source, like z39.50. This is a key part of our cataloguing process and is a necessary piece to moving those staff members over to Leap.

Z39.50 is essential to our library's cataloging processes. Leap absolutely needs this functionality in order for it to work for our cataloging team.

This would be necessary before our cataloging team would even consider beginning to use Leap. We rely pretty heavily on z39.50 cataloging - and being able to compare a current record with one from OCLC is something we are doing constantly.

This is a vital part of our cataloguing processes. We want to create the best records we can, so we'll often pull the Subject Headings from one source, the Description from another, etc.
It's also helpful when we have concerns with something previously catalogued in our database and want to see how our record compares to other libraries. For example, how others have dealt with a sensitive topic.
