<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">We struggle with comparing entitlements and enabled access, too, for exactly the reasons you state. We always fall beck to hand checking. About a year ago we conducted a mass review
of our SFX configuration, checking each current ejournal subscription with content enabled in our KB, and then verifying our access and holdings on the publisher platform – all checked “by-hand”, title by title.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">Do you have a good method or set of procedures worked out for comparing e-journal entitlements lists against what is activated and/or able to be activated in your knowledge base (KB)? I'm defining "entitlements
lists" as lists of the e-journal titles and the subscribed/purchased coverage to which we are entitled. These lists can be e-mailed by publisher representatives or downloaded from publisher websites. Our knowledge base is WorldCat KB, and the KB files we
compare against are KBART files, but I am interested in looking at procedures that anyone may be using, regardless of which KB you have.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">We have tried using Excel's VLOOKUP functionality to match titles by unique identifier, but it seems as though there are lots of problems in the vendor supplied data that make it hard to compare coverage (and
even titles, sometimes). A few problems we've run up against are entitlements lists that do not show all title changes with separate titles, ISSNs, and coverage for all the titles in the history, and entitlements lists that show separate lines for each subscribed
year of the title, which makes it hard to pull together the true start date and end date into one KB entry.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">If you have a process that you think works pretty well for matching up entitlements with what's available in the KB, would you mind contacting me? I would love to learn about your process(es) and the tools you
use. We are especially interested in automating the process with Excel or Google Sheet templates, if anyone has been doing that. Or are there any workshops or presentations that anyone knows of on this topic?<o:p></o:p></p>
