That's what we've done for journal holdings (only) in https://sourceforge.net/projects/doctor-doc/ Works perfect in combination with an EZB-account (rzblx1.uni-regensburg.de/ezeit) as a linkresolver. May be as exact as on issue level. The tool is beeing used by around 100 libraries in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. If you check this one out: Don't expect the perfect OS-system. It has been developped by me (head of library and no IT-Professional) and a colleague (IT-Professional). I learned a lot through this one. There is plenty room for improvement in it: some things implemented not yet so nice, other things done quite nice ;-) If you want to discuss, use or contribute: https://sourceforge.net/projects/doctor-doc/support Very welcome!
