[Eril-l] Evaluating e-book packages - strategies for comparing title lists to your catalog holdings?

[Spurgin, Kristina M]

Hi, 

One of our subject librarians is wanting to evaluate an e-book package containing a few thousand titles, but suspects that we may already own a large percentage of the titles in print and/or e-book format. 

She'd like a way to automate (or semi-automate) answering the question, "How many of the titles from this list do we already provide access to in some format?" No one here has time to do a few thousand catalog searches manually...

But, I know of no obvious/simple way to match a title list against our III Millennium catalog. 

Has anyone come up with any solutions/strategies for doing this sort of comparison at your library? 

Thanks, 
Kristina
