Re: [CODE4LIB] ulrich's api?
I just checked the SS Support Center and it is included with a sub to Ulrichsweb. I had confused this with the XML data service (which *does* cost extra), so I never followed up.

Re: [CODE4LIB] ulrich's api?
Ah, did you find docs in the SS Support Center that cover how to access the API and what it's functionalty is? Have any direct links to such? Yeah, last time I asked SerSol (a couple years ago), the XML data service was all that was available -- and not only does it cost extra, ti is actually VERY expensive (I think it's targetted at other vendor-like users, who will basically be reselling the data). So yeah, I'm curious about this newer one too! On 1/2/2013 10:53 AM, Van Mil, James (vanmiljf) wrote: I just checked the SS Support Center and it is included with a sub to Ulrichsweb.

If you already have access to other SS APIs, you'll find documentation behind a password, here: http://xml.serialssolutions.com/docs/Ulrichsweb/v1.0/index.html I haven't activated this one yet, but in the past I've gotten the 360 Link and Summon API Terms of Use agreements via Ask a Question: http://support.serialssolutions.com/app/ask There's limited info in the Support Center: http://support.serialssolutions.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2311/kw/ulrichs%20api -James -Original Message- From: Jonathan Rochkind [mailto:rochk...@jhu.edu] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2013 1:31 PM To: Code for Libraries Cc: Van Mil, James (vanmiljf) Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] ulrich's api?
