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
