Re: Holdings for e-resources in OPAC and in OCLC? Carmel Yurochko 23 Jan 2006 17:08 UTC
Hello, The Gumberg Library at Duquesne University does a monthly batch download of Marc records we get from ExLibris. I do this more frequently if warranted. I too am interested in the answer to the question about OCLC holdings for electronic journals. I just began adding our symbol to our Elsevier subscription titles, and only to Elsevier subs for now. At this time, I am not adding holdings. We decided to start slowly to see how it affects our ILL department. Thanks, Carmel Yurochko Serials/E.R.
