Tangentially related A time consuming aspect of keeping a collection current is scanning for new editions of held items
Amazon shows new editions of texts so wondering if anyone has created a script to automatically monitor for new editions of uploaded ISBNs etc? Perhaps OCLC has something similar re new editions - not sure ta, Rob Rob Penfold - Librarian Mon-Wed Health Sciences Library Rockhampton Hospital Central Queensland Hospital and Health Service Address: PO Box 4201 Rockhampton QLD 4700 Phone: 07 4920 6525 / 0432 892 724 Email: [email protected] Library: https://qheps.health.qld.gov.au/cqld/library (Intranet) CKN: https://www.ckn.org.au/ CQ Health: www.cq.health.qld.gov.au follow us on social media | Facebook | LinkedIn | YouTube | Twitter CQ Health acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, and pays respect to Elders past, present and future. -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Lisa McColl Sent: Thursday, 28 October 2021 3:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] WorldCat Search API Python script? This email originated from outside Queensland Health. DO NOT click on any links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and know the content is safe. I’m not sure if this would help you, but at Lehigh we developed a free WorldCat search based on ISBNs and the entry point. This is a Google Sheets extension called MatchMarc. We’ve used this for numerous projects. You can go to matchmarc.com or email me for more info.
