Hi Geraldine
We are not an A-Z customer but it might be worth asking Ebsco about joining up with the UK Knowledgebase + service which already has the correct data for many of these deals that could be fed through to Ebsco's link resolver, (or indeed any other link resolver provider). My understanding is that this would potentially allow Ebsco to present a set of publisher titles specifically matched to the NESLI and JISC deals and save all institutions a lot of time and effort trying to match up their own titles. These sets could appear in addition to their other generic sets of publisher titles presumably already presented in A-Z? You could then choose to select just the JISC/nesli ones and deselect the generic ones.
