How do I use the XML Electronic Holdings Report with your OPAC system?

The XML Electronic Holdings Report is a "valid" XML file that uses the ScienceDirect Holdings Document Type Definition (DTD) file. The XML version of the Electronic Holdings Report is useful for librarians who, for example, want to import the holdings report data into an Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) system to maintain their libraries' acquisitions and subscriptions. All Electronic Holdings Reports present the same information as their CSV counterparts.

• The DTD file describes which tags may be used in the files and which rules apply to these tags in order for your OPAC system to process, display, or print the report as intended. For more information about XML and DTD specifications, view the guidelines on W3.org.
• See your OPAC documentation for more information about importing XML documents.
