Law library-HeinOnline question

Hi all,
Cross-postedDuplication apologies.
Has anyone developed in-house procedures for maintenance of HeinOnline coverage
data, utilizing the downloadable spreadsheet available from Heins website in
conjunction with Hs regular update notifications, Millennium (basic) modules,
MARC editing programs, MacroExpress, Excel macros, any other what-have-you
(free or inexpensive) software packages? I realize there are 3rd party vendors
and/or Millennium add-on products, etc. that could provide this servicebut Im
interested in an in-house (or mostly in-house) solution.
Not sure if this is a plausible scenario, but heres general outline of what Im
thinking
Download the HeinOnline Complete Collection spreadsheet.
Phase 1A
Manually enhance the spreadsheet with local .b numbers (student project.)
Phase 1B (concurrent with 1A)
Manually copy/paste coverage data from the spreadsheet into Millenniums
MARC holdings (staff/librarian project)ORutilize MacroExpress, Excel
macros, MARC edit, something else? to get that data into MilHoldings records.
Phase 2
Utilize Heins Updates re: new titles, added coverage, etc. to automate edits
(somehow?) in MilHoldings records.
Also, if you manually edit coverage data using Heins Collection spreadsheet and
Hs update notifications, would you be willing to share any Technical Services
documentation/procedures youve developed?
Thanks in advance for help, tips, get-a-clue advice!
Laurel
