Hello Brian:

We create MARC records from vendor supplied title/holdings lists and
load them into our Innopac. Periodically we go back to the vendor's web
site and refresh the data.  Once everything is in place, the whole
process takes less than two hours.

Step by step instructions on how we create MARC records for ProQuest
Direct titles are given in the slides and handout of a presentation we
recently did on e-journals:

I will be giving a similar presentation at the next IUG in Philadelphia.
