At UC Berkeley we purchase books from around the world and have set up
programs with a variety of vendors to send us brief, or when possible, full
bibliographic records, that include embedded order and invoice data. In the
past, we used "list purchases" for many foreign vendors--one invoice, many
titles, easy to pay, but no cost data per title.
I'm interested in learning how broadly other major research libraries have
been able to get these kinds of MARC files from international vendors.
Here's a list of what we're currently able to load. We don't have a process
for automatic retrieval of these files, but we don't have to create
individual orders or key invoices by hand either. We are using Millennium
now, moving to Alma in the summer.
