• Other identifiers – DOIs, ISSN revision, PURLs, etc.• Metadata variations

– Title Variations– Typos, slight changes from last update– Mistakes by vendor (incorrect data type)

Target full-text journal database uses:

eBMJ 1468-5833


Solutions: Rules management

• Rules management– Create database-specific rules to address reporting

problems from vendors– Over 16,000 rules applied to over 750 databases– Correct confusing or wrong data

• Example: Crisis / New Crisis / Crisis (2003)

ProQuest reports: Freeman / 1559-1638, with coverage from June 1998 to present

Actually, this is Freeman / 0016-0652, coverage from June 1998 to Dec 1999Ideas on Liberty / 1542-0689, coverage from Jan 2000 to Nov 2003Freeman (2003) / 1559-1638, coverage from Dec 2003 to present

Any system that doesn’t identify all three titles won’t provide correct links to content.


The “Community Effect”

• The Network Effect in action– Thousands of librarians are looking at this data– When one librarian reports an issue, we fix it for all

• Serials Solutions library support & data acquisition team– Twenty four people currently in data acquisition & product

support; fifteen with MLSs or equivalent experience– 3 full-time catalogers– CONSER participant– Catalogers on contract
