Hi Stephanie,
I know you've asked for direct reply, but I am also interested in this topic and hope that others will join in discussion.
We don't yet use MARCIt records, but one of our consortium members does. 
Here are our observations:
1. edited LC records
2. "skeleton" records - no MARC data, other than title {245} and URL {856}

The edited LC records could be OK, but they are not. The problem is, in our opinion, that the cataloguing agency is using LC records describing the print version of the serial, and edits it to reflect the e-version. We believe they are doing it to "force" a match of the print ISSN in the MARC record and the SFX knowledge base. Unfortunately, they disregard the LC record describing the e-version of the serial, because it may or may not have an eISSN. If there is an ExLibris cataloguer on this list, we would like to discuss this on behalf of our consortium.

The "skeleton" records (Univ. of Alberta Library's naming) are of no value in terms of MARC records, but they provide access. You can see many of them from many libraries loaded as duplicates into OCLC WorldCat. Most of the MARC fixed field coding is "u", and there are no descriptive fields, other than the two mentioned above (title and hotlink).

Regards,
Erika

Are other colleges and universities using the  MARCIt service for MARC records for electronic journals based on the information maintained in SFX?

 

Please reply to me directly, but I am interested in some more information about the MARCIt service.

 

How well is that working with ILL?   Are you also using an ERM to record license agreement clauses?

 

Thanks in advance for this information.  My Library Director is interested in finding out what comprehensives are doing with ejournals.

 

If you would prefer to speak with me over the phone, I am happy to call you.

 

Best regards,

 

Stephanie
