Is anyone out there using OCLC local data records (LDRs) for serials to
update summary holdings in a local system?   In other words, are you loading
your own LDRs for serials directly into your local automated system from
OCLC?

If so:

     What brand of local system do you have?

     Do you update your local system on a routine basis?

     Are you satisfied with the results?   Why?  or  Why not?

     Do you encounter any special problems in the process?   Please explain.

     Other comments?

Alternatively, is anyone uploading serials summary holdings to the OCLC union
list subsystem from a local system?

If so:

     What brand of local system do you have?

     Do you update OCLC on a routine basis?

     Are you satisfied with the results?   Why?  or  Why not?

     Do you encounter any special problems in the process?   Please explain.

     Other comments?

Any and all responses will be greatly appreciated.

Please respond to me directly:
