Films in IGI

Hi, Alicia,

I think those batches without accompanying film numbers is due to the fact that the transcriber didn't finish the job, and their supervisors didn't review their entries. I used to see some people in our other library (the one they closed) doing transcriptions for the index, and some were very good at it, and others had trouble. I see many examples like yours in my searches too. Maybe Jonathan in Utah can find out what happened on your specific example?

Does anyone know why a film would have a batch number but no associated film # or dates for the film on the IGI?

Any help would be appreciated. I have copied below an example for Asientos, Aguascalientes, Mexico that has the batch # but not the film# or dates.
