KMLM List

[Luiz Augusto Garcia da Silva <luizaugustogarcia@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are very frustrated with this. This task of classification in a 
single library may be feasible, but in our consortium with dozens of 
thousands e-resources, it is a painful task, if not impossible. Do 
e-resources names and identifiers that come in COUNTER reports (often 
identifiers missing or slightly differentnames) match with our KBs (SFX, 
Verde) will be an Herculean task.
