<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;">Linked equivalent ISBNs are the critical first step to performing an accurate comprehensive match of a library’s print and e-books holding against titles in an e-book package. This linkage involves:</div>
<ul>
<li style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">
</span></span>Being able to get a listing of eISBNs for <i>all titles</i> in a publisher or vendor e- books package;
</li><li style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">
</span></span>Being able to link to (and thereby de-duplicate) <i>all equivalent </i>
eISBNs, which would include the publisher eISBN and every aggregator eISBN for the
<i>same title</i>; and </li><li style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Symbol;">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">
</span></span>Being able to link <i>all print ISBNs</i> (which would include both paperback and hardback ISBNs, along with any variations such as non-U.S. ISBN) to
<i>all equivalent eISBNs</i> so to de-duplicate. </li></ul>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;">Typically only a large book vendor with a sophisticated bibliographical database such as YBP Library Services has the capacity to achieve this first step.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;">The second step would involve the matching itself against holdings. If a library has purchased all or nearly all its titles from a book vendor with this capability, then having the
<i>vendor</i> match all relevant print and e-ISBNs against library purchases would be the most efficient/effective means to de-duplicate accurately and comprehensively rather than trying to match against records in the library catalog.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px; min-height: 16px;"><br>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;">Finally, if the library agreed to buy the needed e-books via the vendor, then it would have the financial incentive to do this record match for the library because of potential sales.</div>

ProQuest will do a match of their Ebrary holdings in particular against your print holdings and for free ( in hopes of selling you their Academic Complete product or even subsets of their holdings). You supply them with your ISBNs as a data dump from Millennium
and they take that and try to do the matches with their collection holdings. <o:p></o:p></div>

I'm not sure if they'd be open to de-duping from other providers; I strongly suspect, they'd only de-dupe against their own holdings but it would be worth having a conversation with your representative.<o:p></o:p></div>

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.<o:p></o:p></div>

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>
