Hello all,
After I submitted this report yesterday my colleague realized there was an error in the spreadsheet I got the deduplication record counts from. For July-December 2025, ML merged 6,195,872 records NOT 10,513,886 (which was the number in my report). All the other numbers are correct. If a corrected report is desired, I can provide that, but I don't this difference impacts the substance of my report.
SPOILER ALERT: At next week's OCLC Cataloging Community Meeting, Laura Ramsey will provide the correct numbers of records merged for DDR and ML in a chart. So when you see this slide, please remember that is why Laura's chart looks different than mine.
