Regarding fulltext, by sipmly eliminating a hyphen, they managed to make the term quite a bit more jargon-y than it ought to be. As far as I can tell, they are just making the basic distinction between bibliographic records (i.e., brief citations of documents, maybe accompanied by abstracts) and full-text (i.e., the documents themselves, usually scanned facsimiles). What throws me off a little is why you would call this a document server when only a third of your records have complete documents attached to them. I might be crazy, but to me that term implies that you are slanging NOTHING BUT full-text, while this is sipmly a punk-ass bibliographic database.
