Our library has a Serials Holdings List for all our print/microformed
journals and indexes. We have recently subscribed to Ebscohost, which is
a
database that contains the full-text versions of many periodical titles.
One suggestion has been that we add all of the periodical titles covered
in
full-text in Ebscohost to our Holdings List.  Have any other libraries
done
this?  What is your advice on this matter?

Would another way of approaching this be to make a note in our Holdings
List that we subscribe to Ebscohost and then provide a separate list of
which journals are covered in full-text in Ebscohost?  I know that the
full-text coverage could change quickly in Ebscohost and other databases
of
this type.  Thanks for any help.
