[Daniel Sifton]

Hi Kristina,





We run an ISBN batch query against our ILS with MARCedit to do this for all our packages.

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
