We were partners in the testing and I agree that it is painless and
provides useful information not only for ILL but also for our librarians
and others who routinely use WorldCat. Our e-journals are managed
through TDNet and they have been excellent partners too.
Just knowing that by submitting through your serials a-z vendor, etc.
that the OCLC stuff gets done is great. The occasional update files we
get are quick to run.
