I'd be concerned about bumping into limits or getting throttled using APIs mentioned so far. I'd be inclined to go for a mass data download, match as much as I could, and then if there's still more than would be appropriate for an API approach, throw fielded searches across a number of library catalogs since some of them can spit out pretty easy to parse results. BTW, what is the source of the data? That could point to the best way to get what you want. kyle On Thu, Jun 17, 2010 at 1:59 AM, David Kane <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hi, I have large amounts of data like this: > > <yawn> > Reece, P.
