After evaluating the results, it seems the best option was to take the Gemini-converted Jonson bibliography file and enhance it with Worldcat/CrossRef/JSTOR lookups for missing publisher data. This version of the file is now the canonical version of the converted bibliography. Running it through a diagnositc that compares bibls in the converted bibliography to those in LEMDO’s BIBL1, I got 138 perfect matches. Not quite as many as I had hoped for, but the Jonson bibliography is quite expansive, so there is a good chance that the non-matched bibls are simply not in BIBL1 at this point. The non-100% matches will have to be hand checked and converted as needed. My hope is to find a work-study student, ideally with an interest in early modern book publishing, to take on this task.
