Colleagues:

 

I have searched the list archives and have not found an answer to this particular question. For those of you who have undertaken a project to withdraw your JSTOR print titles (or transfer them to remote storage), how have you located the print title records, given that the Excel spreadsheet downloadable from JSTOR gives OCLC numbers only for the electronic versions? Did you have to do a manual title by title search, or were you able to automate the matching process?

 

Because we're undertaking this matching for the entire JSTOR title set, we would really like a faster way than searching manually title by title, and using the data in 776 fields where they appear.

 

Many thanks for any help you can provide,

If you are talking about deciding which titles to weed, I did an overlap analysis in Serials Solutions between our print holdings database and JSTOR databases.  This helped us to quickly locate the titles to consider for weeding.
