They are currently dorment. There is a make file in the index directory that is called by a cron job every week night. The registry was designed for a number of selector librarians to submit records that catalogers would later update and submit to the database. Records submitted from this form are stored in the holding directory, where they are picked up by the catalogers and revised. Once they have been so revised they are deleted from the holding directory.
Catalogers can also submit records directly.
This form is identical to the selectors form, except that it includes additional fields for the cataloger, which is not on the selectors submission page. Records submitted from this form bypass the holding directory and are deposited directly to data. Both scripts handle proofing functions as well. Otherwise it is pretty straightforward. This provides links to all the other utilities.
