Dear Sally
We have separate records for our e-journals, we import them from SFX - they
are pretty basic records, just the title, issn and supplier.
The titles for the electronic material are in capital letters with a note in
brackets indicating its online.
We update our list from our SFX knowledge base, roughly every month
We provide our e-journals via our library catalogue and as an A-Z list in
MetaLib (federated search engine).
With regards to User experience, we try and direct them to the SFX button
for linking to e-journals, from our catalogue, from databases, from MetaLib
etc.
We have set up some templates for catalogue records for different types of
electronic records, such as databases, ebooks, enewspapers etc. I would be
happy to bring them along to our e-resources meeting if you are interested.

Subject: Catalogue records for eJournals
Apols for X-posting
Hello there,
We're reviewing our methods of resource discovery here at LSE and I'd be
really interested to find out what others are doing as regards using either
the same or separate records for electronic and print versions of the same
title. We have questions such as:
- Do you have separate e and p records for the titles which you take in both
formats?
- Or do you have a single record?
- If you have a single record, how do you describe the two different
resource types on the one record?
- What does the user see on the catalogue (or anywhere else for that matter)
in either case?
- And do you keep data on eJournals in more than one system eg on the
catalogue AND on other systems such as ENCompass resource discovery system
etc etc?
- Do you adhere to any particlar accepted standards for this data?
- What are the thought processes behind any decisions?
We need to develop good policies and procedures. Any help you can give will
be hugely appreciated.
Regards
Sally
