We use TDNet and have recently started to download TDNet supplied Conser
records into our catalogue that match all our electronic subscriptions
listed in the database. These include the free titles, such as those on
the DOAJ, that are added to the database automatically for us. It is
early days yet but the service has helped us to improve on our existing
serials records, and catch up with all the titles, including the free
ones, that we haven't had time to create ourselves.

Janet,
Clearing out emails..
We have traditionally put records for all selected free ejournals into
catalogue. Like you, we struggled. We now use serials solutions updating
service, for updates/new titles for all our subscribed packages and free
journals. Works well.
Any progress with Coutts Myilibrary? Still little progress here - I
shall
have to chase! I don't think they want our business! Jane
