<div><br>> At the moment, our Institute is registered with Springer, for
14k or 15k of<br>> online e-books. My library director has
requested me to look into whether<br>> Koha can do automatic batch
downloading of all those e-books into our KOHA<br>> system, with "MARC
Records" created for them.<br><br></div>One of my clients' - West Bengal
University of Technology, are<br>subscribed to Springer ebooks for copyright
years 2005, 2006 and 2007,<br>approx 13k of ebooks. Never faced any problem
with importing the<br>Springer Marc21 records from their site into my
client's Koha<br>installation. The DOI links in the Springer Marc file are
preserved as<br>the URI sub-tag `u` of 956 of each individual ebook
record.<br><br>So an user browsing the OPAC can click the link and will be
taken to<br>the content on Springer site (my client uses campus IP
based<br>authentication).<br>
<div><br>> Now honestly, I am new to Koha, so I have no idea if this is
feasible or<br>> not, that's why I am asking you guys
:)<br><br></div>From my experience, it just works, however YMMV<br><br>hth
