ebrary MARC record set: initial impressions
I finally got the ebrary administrative login from Camila today, and I downloaded the August 2008 MARC record set that they provide to subscribers at no additional charge. Took a quick glance at the records in MarcEdit. The first thing I noticed is that Serials Solutions lists 38,421 titles in the Academic Complete collection, but the August 2008 MARC record set includes only 36,542 bibliographic records. I could not locate a title list on the ebrary public or administrative sites, so I don't have a method of verifying the title count. The main problem with loading the full records is the impact that loading 36,000+ full MARC records will have on our authority control process (headings reports). We will need to break the large set down into smaller chunks (can the system handle 5,000 at a time?) and manage the load carefully in order to avoid overloading either the bibtemps file or the headings reports.

Summit pass-through failure
Steps:
1. View patron record: list items with holds or items checked out
2. Click on one of the titles to view the full bib record display
3. From the full bib record display, click the Search Summit button in the NAVROW
4. System sends me back to the patron record view
Normal/desired behavior: clicking on the Search Summit button would do a search for that record in the INNREACH union catalog.
