Are these the numbers in question?

Over in the Batch listserv (http://listserv.vt.edu/archives/batch.html) I posted a note about these six records, plus ocn310335559. I was able to identify the correct DOI by various means and added the correct URLs to WorldCat. This was back in mid-June. If there are more that I missed, please let me know! To find the correct DOIs, I searched the SpringerLink site. Some records had other SpringerLink URLs, which I followed to look at the data provided at Springer, and was able to find the DOI listed there. Some records had ISBNs, which I used to search the SpringerLink site to find the item, and again found the DOI listed there. ocn310335559 has the same DOI as another SpringerLink record, and appears to be a volume or part within it. Discussion on the Batch mailing list suggests that this record can be deleted, because the other record subsumes this item as a part.
As to how to find records in MarcEdit with no 856, one easy way would be to sort the records by 856 field. Do let me know if you find any SpringerLink records without DOIs other than the ones I listed above.
By the way, the Batch mailing list is a great resource for batch loading. It is dedicated to discussion of batch loading records (especially e-resource records), sharing the problems found with specific vendor record sets, etc. The list is very low volume.
