UCMP - Serhold question - Medical Library Rose LaJudice 12 Sep 2000 13:52 UTC

Dear People,

I work in a medical library and for years we have used the UCMP service
(The company is known as the Medical Library Center of New  York) to
update our serial holdings.  If I understand correctly they act as a
clearing house to update other sources Docline, OCLC, Serhold,
Microfiche, local Union Lists(?)

Recently due to the development of Docline going on the web there is now
a way to go in directly into their website and and update our journal
holdings ourselves. There is talk here of dropping UCMP completely.

Is anyone else also dealing with this decision?  Can you provide me
with anyother information?  I will attempt to call UCMP directly today
but I am finding I am not getting clear answers.  I assume these
companies want our business and choose not to share the
correct information.  This might be unique to New York State (?)

Much thanks
