I need to explore connoncial equivalences between some genre terms and OLAC terms.
For example: https://www.loc.gov/standards/valuelist/marcgt.html and http://www.loc.gov/standards/sourcelist/genre-form.html

Tuition costs for undergraduates at WOU and UO
This week I was looking at undergraduate tuition rates at Western Oregon University and the University of Oregon. Finding these resources was a challenge, either UO hides the information, or they have really bad SEO.
Raw questions when looking at the MODS documentation
https://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/userguide/identifier.html
MODS documentation does not explain an expected syntax for the examples. This would be very helpful. What is the expected syntax for typeURI?

manuscript
Definition
A resource that is written in handwriting or typescript.
Application
This attribute is used as manuscript="yes" when a collection contains manuscripts and is considered generally to be manuscript in nature, and for individual manuscripts.
A collection is not the same thing as a DC collection, so what does the XSD say?
Where does the OLAC grene terms map to this list?

UNT IT help desk and Virtualization Service
Initial Request on 16 OCT 2022
Reply the Next Day with my follow-up response.
Second Response of the same confusion.
Four rounds of this nonsense... please just read my message.
Then they sent me the questionnaire for the satisfaction survey.
Well, are you happy?
Umm, NO. Not happy. Please read my messages when I send them.
Then they marked it resolved... without any resolution!
Finally two days later, someone replies...
Two days later: "Oh we have a different virtualization service through the business school!
Can your service do what I need it to do?
With all the gusto of "Let's go down the rabbit hole again and contact a new IT department", I reached out to the Citrix service manager. However, contrary to initial expectations, I found that I was corresponding with a responsive and well informed person who could make things happen if all the boxes on his checklist were filled... only they the boxes still are not filled.
Let's get all the stakeholders involved...
And so there it is... UNT, the school which is not in want of defined process. It is a well managed school.

From what to OLAC
One of the things that I have been looking at are where are the various kinds of data which can be imported into the OLAC records depending on the kinds of records which exist.

Afternoon snack
Katja and I had afternoon hot chocolate today. we talked about her work at school. She is learning about typography and letter height. Worm line, grass line, airplane line and cloud line. I showed her some of my work and some of the font things I’ve done and the font book we have here in the house.
