I am very curious about this.  Do all of you who use the process of
creating a separate bib record and supress it also use an ERM?  We use an
ERM to keep track of all of our electronic journal orders, payments,
licensing information, and contact information.  I find the ERM to be a
real life and time saver.

Thank you.
