[Eril-l] Procedures (and/or documentation) for matching e-journal entitlements lists against knowledge base coverage lists?

[Loder, Julie L]

Whoa, that’s news that publishers are pulling ECO content.  Has anyone been notified by OCLC about this?  I don’t recall that we have receiving any notice.  I remember the many hours I spent working on that horrible spreadsheet we have to fill out to submit our order every year to ensure this access.  Do you have a list of the ones they say have been pulled? If the publishers just want to transfer those pca rights to their own platform, that is okay with me, but I would like to be notified.  Thanks for the heads up.

I've been following this discussion with interest as I have been trying to reconcile our legacy OCLC Electronic Collections Online (ECO) holdings.

After my reconciliation and updating of the kb (using many of the wonderful suggestions mentioned in this thread), I did some spot checking and realized that our actual access was far different from what our entitlement report included.  When I asked OCLC about missing content I was told that publishers have pulled content.

Have others noticed a problem with ECO content disappearing? I'm analyzing overlap coverage now in hopes of letting this collection go, but I find it troubling to have paid for content that suddenly disappears with no warning.
