Re: OCLC eSerials Holding Service Connie Foster 25 Apr 2007 18:28 UTC
We were partners in the testing and I agree that it is painless and provides useful information not only for ILL but also for our librarians and others who routinely use WorldCat. Our e-journals are managed through TDNet and they have been excellent partners too. Just knowing that by submitting through your serials a-z vendor, etc. that the OCLC stuff gets done is great. The occasional update files we get are quick to run. Connie Foster Mays, Allison wrote: > I'm curious about what people hope to accomplish with this service.
