Description
Summary:Following some local modifications, the California State University Northridge Library successfully incorporated into its OP AC a set of MARC records provided by EBSCO for the full-text journals in EBSCOhost's Academic Search Elite database. The library matched the file against its current catalog using ISSNs. Records that did not match were loaded directly into the main database. Matching records were loaded into the cataloging workfile. This paper describes the procedure and provides analysis and evaluation.
