Yes. We hold our ejournal file as a PC database which generates
lists as required for the Web pages, and we have written scripts
which we can run to export new records from this at intervals to the
Talis OPAC. (Deletion and amendment are more of a a problem!)

Our ejournals page includes a search box which actually searches
the Talis WebOpac.

Our system awaits refinement in many ways, but it does do
the bulk of the work for us.
