<div dir="ltr"><p>Just wondering if anyone else is having issues with the Holdings data in EBSCOhost?</p><p></p><p>I
am trying to get a number for the amount of electronic journals that we
provide access to. This is in response to a request from our
Institutional Research department who is compiling a common data set.
Without going into too much detail, I cannot replicate last year's
numbers. Not that they should be the same, but I cannot get a grasp on
what I am looking at to at least back my way in to some number that looks reasonable. To the best of my knowledge we haven't added any significant quantity of eresources recently.</p><p></p><p>Within
the EBSCOhost admin area on the Overview page I have one number for
titles under holdings. But if I download the spreadsheet for holdings (which includes journals, books, newsletters, and more) I get a number that is 145% higher than the number shown on the Overview. If I dedupe this I come pretty close to the Overview number, but I am just guessing. If I sort by the journal category and pull out just journals I also get a number that is close, but is no longer close after deduping.</p><p></p><p>Last
year this information was pulled by my predecessor, and I have a
printed out screenshot from what I believe is the A-to-Z admin area, and
the number is identified as "Unique Resources". I no longer see
anything on the Overview page that says "Unique Resources". We recently
migrated from the EBSCO A-to-Z to the new Full Text Finder/Publication
Finder. So, I cannot go back into the same admin interface, and I am
concerned that I am not comparing apples and apples anymore. <br></p><p></p><p>The folks at EBSCO are investigating, but I was just curious if anyone was questioning any of these things.</p><p></p><p>Thanks in advance,</p>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Adele Fitzgerald<br>Electronic Resources Librarian @ Callahan Library<br><br>St. Joseph's College<br>25 Audubon Avenue<br>Patchogue, NY 11772 <br>631.687.2639<br><br><img src="http://thinkbeforeprinting.org/struct/signature-1.gif"><br></div></div>
