NEW Files

The document that includes the MARC files has a line that reads "To avoid overwriting your cataloging data, we are removing the older NEW files. Updated versions of the New records will eventually be included in the Completed file that NLS provides." Since there is no NEW file this month, does this mean that as of October we no longer have the NEW file to load? I wanted to confirm.

Second, if the end of the NEW files started this month, are those records for the first October copy allotment now included in the Completed file? I wanted to check because our reader advisors typically are itching to add reserves for patrons on those titles as soon as we can view the copy allotment. And then, what about the mid-month copy allotment NEW File? When will we get those records?

Thanks for the clarification!
