 Request your renewal from Ebsco as a spreadsheet  Does not require renewing as spreadsheet: No issue with using Ebsconet for renewals  Do not try to get data from Ebsconet via my orders: confusing and time- consuming  Probably fine to use My Renewals in Ebsconet to export to Excel

 Copy the file (good to save original)  Filter the spreadsheet to remove the online titles  Cleanup membership titles (swap in title and ISSN as needed)  Leave only the TITLE and ISSN fields  Change the headers to TITLE and ISSN respectively  Save the file as.txt (required for uploading into Serials Sol’n)
