<p>I'm managing SFX as well as the OCLC WMS KB. I don't intend to open the can of worms of: why have more than one? <span style="font-size:12pt">So...If you are in a similar situation to mine, and have insights about the following common scenario, I'd love
to hear your perspective.</span></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>KB #1 has a particular collection. KB #2 has the same collection. Yet the number of individual titles within each varies wildly. Here's a specific example: SFX has a target for EBSCOHOST_PSYCBOOKS that has 2,183 portfolios. The same thing in OCLC WMS KB (called
a collection, with title, EBSCOhost PsycBOOKS) has 4,021 titles in it.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If the source for each KB is a vendor feed of some sort, isn't it logical to expect the numbers to be somewhat close? But they frequently aren't. I'm not sure there is a ready solution to the problem but I'm wanting to at least have a better grasp of the
possible reasons for these discrepancies.</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
