ISBNs in your print collection, I wonder? OCLC holdings or some such? <br>
<br>
The package is question is from another vendor altogether---will ProQuest do this matching on other packages?

<p class="MsoNormal">ProQuest Ebrary/EBL will do matching on your print collection for you. All they require is ISBNs as the match point. While it does not provide analysis for varying editions; it is a fairly accurate comparison. I'd email your ProQuest re
about them producing a report for you.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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...<br>
<br>
But, I know of no obvious/simple way to match a title list against our III Millennium catalog.<br>
<br>
Has anyone come up with any solutions/strategies for doing this sort of comparison at your library?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Kristina<br>
