Well, we use Innovative as our LMS as well, but I won't be using it to
change the URLs. We also have reSearcher suite (CUFTS), an open source
software hosted by SFU in Canada, as our ERM system. In this case I'll
simply upload our list of subscribed titles (in a prescribed format) in
CUFTS. That will generate the MARC records that I can then download and
then upload in Millennium (if you know what I mean!). It sounds
complicated but really not that complicated.

Ian,
The change in URLs isn't simple enough for us to do a global update in
our Innovative Millennium LMS so we're going to export our catalogue
records into an Excel spreadsheet (can you do that in Talis Prism too?)
and then use Excel's wonderful VLOOKUP function to pull in the new URL
for each ISSN from Wiley's spreadsheet at:
http://info.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/SpringboardWebApp/userfiles/wcp/file
/Journal%20DOIs%20and%20new%20URLs%20for%20Wiley%20Online%20Library(1).x
ls
The we'll use MarcMaker / MarcEdit to turn the spreadsheet into a new
batch of records. We'll upload the new batch and delete our original
batch.
I tried this a week or two ago and found that Wiley's spreadsheet lacked
ceased/changed titles (and a couple of active ones). I alerted Wiley to
this and I understand that these will be added to the spreadsheet soon
(maybe they have already).
We might change our links now (well as soon as that Wiley spreadsheet is
comprehensive) to be based on the journal DOI, as Wiley's new links are,
but pointing to dx.doi.org (e.g.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/(ISSN)1365-2648 for Journal of Advanced
Nursing). These links should continue to work throughout the migration
process. After the new site is live we could do a simple global update
to change dx.doi.org to onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal if we wanted to.
I suppose plenty of others have MARC services from the likes of Ex
Libris and Serials Solutions and can have a smug moment...
To be fair to Wiley, I suppose they are moving from a daft old system
that used in-house identifiers to a sensible new system that uses global
standard identifiers. As Emily has just pointed out, the update to your
URLs doesn't have to be done by the launch date (or at all if you are
very brave) as the old URLs should continue to redirect.

Does anyone else out there share our dismay at the prospect of manually
changing hundreds (nay, thousands) of URLs in our catalogue as a result
of Wiley's shift to their new platform? Other suppliers seem to be able
to change platform without requiring each subscribing library to do this
work, so why not Wiley? Our spend with them is far from insignificant.
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the situation and there is a way to do
this as a batch process? If so, I'd be delighted to have my ignorance
remedied...
