[Eril-l] KB discrepancies

[Daniel Peterson]

I'm not sure how SFX and OCLC KBs work, but issues I can think of to take
into account are:
1. Do the title lists include only full text content, or full text and A&I
titles
2. If full text only, how comprehensive does that full text need to be
("selected full text" titles cause confusion with link resolvers)
3. How are journal title changes tracked? Single entry for all title
versions, or separate for each title/ISSN variant?
4. Conference proceedings and monographic serials can be a mess
