<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
