When we (OhioLINK) buy our electronic journals, we have been having OCLC
TechPro do the cataloging. So far, I think they have cataloged Academic
Press and Elsevier. I am not directly involved in this process, so I
can not be more specific on the availability of these records. If you
have more questions, please let me know and I can forward them on to the
person in charge of this cataloging project.
