ALCTS CRS Committee on Holdings InformationHoldings Update Forum, 7/11/09

Introduction• Where or from whom does ProQuest obtain coverage data for each title in our databases?

• In what format does ProQuest receive raw holdings data?

• What are the data elements in these source data? (For instance, are enumeration and chronology both present in the title lists we receive from the source, or does ProQuest supply the data? If ProQuest supplies the data, how much research in involved, and how difficult is it to provide holdings data for content coverage?

• How does ProQuest pass these coverage (holdings) data to Electronic Resources Access and Management Services like Serials Solutions, and in what format during data transfer?

• Is ProQuest implementing ONIX SOH standards in their coverage data for ejournals? What are the issues in implementation, if any?
