We have just put through a request for MARC records, which is an annual cost, so I believe this service is now available.
We use TDNet and our initial beta loads were great, so now we want to pick up with the regular MARC record loads so as not to lose ground on this effort.

OCLC's E-Serials Holdings service does not provide MARC records.

The only thing the E-Serials Holdings Service does is attach your library holdings symbol to records in WorldCat for titles you have subscriptions to, so you don't have to go in and do it yourself.  They get your holdings information from whatever serials service you use. Their website says they work with WorldCat Link Manager, EBSCO LinkSource, Serials Solutions 360 Link and the TDNet e-Resource Manager.

Has anyone used E-Serials Holdings offered by OCLC?  Can you comment on it, namely how it compares with other MARC record providers such as Serials Solutions?
 
Thanks.
