I think I encountered 29 records that did not have DOI-type links in the
8,500+ OCLC records for the collections we purchased.

That makes sense, Stephen.  I have two questions though.

When I was working with the Springer Springer records, as opposed to the
OCLC Springer records, some of them did not have a DOI.  Is that no
longer the case with the OCLC Springer records?  Do any of the
non-Springer URLs have DOIs?

Here is how we remove the non-Springer URLs from provider-neutral
records:

Change all 856 fields containing "http://dx.doi.org" into 956 fields.
Delete all 856 fields.
Change 956 fields back into 856 fields.


One reason that the number of records from Springer is different from
the number of records from OCLC is this:  Springer often provides
separate records for individual volumes of a multipart item, usually
with the same DOI.  OCLC uses a single record for these items.  You will
note in the file email from OCLC WCS announcing the availability of new
record sets there is usually a line near the bottom saying how many
records were not included.  On inquiry, OCLC said that those records not
included are due to this elimination of duplicates.
