Matt.  We use Galaxy online system and
found that EBSCO would upload records for
us.  That what we did.  As we add titles I
upload from OCLC.  For holdings we list
See Serials Holdings List so that we do
not have to spend a lot of time correcting
records on the system.  Hopefully some
time soon we will have an automated check
in system that is compatible with Galaxy.
Until then we improvise.
