Oh and I should mention we don’t use CS (yet), we use Biblio for distribution, so I don’t know if CS actually allows an actual $0 price.  But Biblio does.

EBSCO was having trouble getting them from their Excel sheets (they do both Excel and ONIX), so we added them to our ONIX 2.1 and ONIX 3 output. It seems to have helped the EBSCO situation. No idea if any other vendors are using the data, but we send it. SubjectSchemeIdentifier “04”
