[Eril-l] Using EBSCO's EDS KBART file to make library catalog records linking into Publication Finder??

[Beth M. Johns]

Hi Cynthia -

If I'm interpreting what you are saying correctly, I have seen this happen on occasion with some of my holdings in packages. I'm not sure of the exact reason, but I can think of a few off the top of my head -- such as the vendor no longer having access to that title and EBSCO just hasn't caught up yet, or something freakish in the system end at EBSCO.

If it were me, I would submit a ticket through EBSCO Connect or give them a call. They've been able to correct it fairly quickly, especially if I just call them.

Hello – we don’t have an A-to-Z list per se (unless something else is included with EDS Publication Finder), and our students start off in the library catalog often, so I wanted to put brief title records in the library catalog for all of the selected (certain collections and certain subjects) titles in EDS.  So I started with the KBART file of all our EDS holdings that is produced in EBSCO Holdings Management.



But I find lots of inconsistencies in my holdings – wiat a minute – I hadn’t paid attention to the report of titles missing from holdings that was reported earlier, because it seemed to be with single titles through EBSCO ejournals, rather than aggregator collections, but maybe this problem is more widespread than I know.



Anyway, take the title Anglican Theological Review, which we should have access to through ATLA Religion Database with Serials Plus.

I see this in Publication Finder – there’s no Full Text Access link.  Does every user of ATLA Religion Database with Serials Plus get the same entry in Publication Finder? If it’s missing from my holdings, is it missing from all of yours?  I now think I need to check and make sure all the boxes are checked correctly in Holdings Management.  ??
