If you already have access to other SS APIs, you'll find documentation behind a password, here: http://xml.serialssolutions.com/docs/Ulrichsweb/v1.0/index.html I haven't activated this one yet, but in the past I've gotten the 360 Link and Summon API Terms of Use agreements via Ask a Question: http://support.serialssolutions.com/app/ask There's limited info in the Support Center: http://support.serialssolutions.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2311/kw/ulrichs%20api -James -----Original Message----- From: Jonathan Rochkind [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2013 1:31 PM To: Code for Libraries Cc: Van Mil, James (vanmiljf) Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] ulrich's api? Ah, did you find docs in the SS Support Center that cover how to access the API and what it's functionalty is? Have any direct links to such? Yeah, last time I asked SerSol (a couple years ago), the XML data service was all that was available -- and not only does it cost extra, ti is actually VERY expensive (I think it's targetted at other "vendor-like" users, who will basically be reselling the data). So yeah, I'm curious about this newer one too!

We happen to subscribe to Ulrich and I don't know if it's included by default.
