Re: [LM_NET] LM_NET Digest - 23 Jul 2007 - Special issue (#2007-338)

Perma-bound has a similar service called manage my collection.  You have to upload 
an export of your catalogue records, then when you are browsing books a circle 
appears next to each title and is filled in if it's already in your collection.  
They also use a half-filled circle for 'something similar' in your collection 
(which might be a different edition of the same title, or one with a similar 
title.)  You do have to upload regularly, but if you buy from them and have them 
process the books they will automatically add whatever you've purchased from them 
to your manage my collection files.

  Follett (at least) has a service called TitleCheck. You upload your  
  MARC records to them (you can also do a collection analysis with the  
  same upload, called TitleWise) and then check a box when you are  
  looking for books and ti will compare your order with what your  
  catalog records show. Just be sure to keep it current by doing a new  
  upload of your MARC records after you have done a 'big weed'.
