We separated our print from the e-records a few years ago by using an A-to-Z product (Ebsco’s) and importing records for our e-journal packages and subs without having them overlay on the print records. I imagine it would be easier to import a batch of e-records (either from JSTOR – they must have MARC records available, right?) or from an A-to-Z product, and then just delete the print ones. Good luck!

Subject: [SERIALST] JSTOR weed and inventory
I have a two part problem/question. My institution recently began a JSTOR weed and due to previous decisions all of our links to JSTOR content was on print records. I have to find each individual record in OCLC and import it into Voyager and create the holdings. Is there an easier way to do this? Has anyone else done a JSTOR weed and needed to bring in electronic records into their catalog?
Secondly, after we complete the JSTOR weed, our institution will begin an inventory. None of our journals are barcoded so I was wondering if anyone else has done an inventory on non-barcoded items. How easy or difficult was the process?
Any tips or suggestions on either the JSTOR weed or inventory would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
