[Eril-l] ENGnetBASE MARC record issues

I haven't seen linking problems or run together text for CRCnetbase. But I
have seen the self-service marc site give us the wrong records before,
going by the wrong date (They tell me the collections are sold based on
print pub dates, although sometimes records are provided based on other
dates like upload date, etc, and we don't really have access to them). Our
rep from Taylor & Francis, has encouraged us to email her directly when
requesting marc records for CRCnetbase in order to make sure we're getting
the correct records; however, I don't know if that would solve any data
quality problems.

And now of course they're about to roll out a new platform for Taylor &
Francis ebooks, so who knows what it will be like for marc records. Our rep
told us initially you'll only be able to download a dump of everything you
have access to, and features like requesting certain batches won't come
until later, so I hear.
