Hi,
Sorry that this isn't an answer to your question, but though you might want
to know this.
Here at Hertfordshire we also signed up to the Springer NESLI deal, and did
as part of our trial access have the pleasures of accessing the monograph
series. However I understood from Springer that these were not part of the
NESLI deal (a real pity this!) and that our access would be removed once the
trial ended. Our access to these monographs was removed in the last week or
so.
It maybe worth checking if you still have access? Of course if you do still
have access I would very much like to know.
Cheers
Lesley

Subject: cataloguing of electronic monographs
Dear all,
Here at Leeds we have recently signed up to the Springer NESLI deal, and as
part of this deal we have access to the various monograph series online
(eg: Lecture Notes in Computer Science). I'd be interested to hear whether
anyone else who has signed up to this deal is considering creating
catalogue records for these?
At present we catalogue all of the printed volumes that we receive
individually, under their separate titles. It would be a huge job for us
to add links to the online version from each catalogue record, especially
as it isn't always clear which volumes are available online. However, our
users tend to look for them by individual title, so may miss out on the
online access if we don't add the links.
This raises a wider issue for us about the cataloguing of electronic
monographs, which is likely to become a bigger issue in the future,
especially if we sign up to any of the ebooks packages currently
available. I'm aware that Netlibrary offer electronic MARC records, but do
any of the other suppliers offer these?
Has anyone considered these issues or come up with any solutions that
they'd be willing to share?
Thanks,
Tracey
