I, also, would be interested in knowing what people are doing now.  As I
recall previous discussions on the list, many librarians reported that it
would be too time consuming to add holdings to the OPAC.  Is this still the
case?

We just got our first full-text product.  I will certainly add a reference
to it for titles we are cancelling that are full text but I doubt I will be
adding new records to the OPAC right now.  For one thing, the contract for
the full-text product is 3 years and then we may switch.  For another we
will probably be migrating systems in the next couple of years and
continuing cleanup of the OPAC is more important than adding cataloging
records for titles that can be checked via a journal title search in the
full-text product itself.
