[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Need community suggestions for back-filling EG documentation

[Gislaine.Hamelin at statcan.gc.ca]

My suggestion would be for more detailed documentation on the Alternate Serial Control View, creating a subscription specifically. I'd like to see step by step instructions with screen captures on what to expect.

This is not an area where we have no documentation, however, what is available is sparse. I am trying to set up an additional stream and cannot as there are not many details on the specific workflow.
