Not a Scottish Library but this is what we currently do.
Our Electronic Journals Database is entirely separate from our library
catalogue. Recently, I have started adding Electronic ISSNs with "Internet"
to an 022 field on the catalogue when I add journals to the E-journal
Database. This is a recent development so a bit of retro work is needed.
The print ISSN is not added to the E-journal Database. I usually get the
Electronic ISSNs from the journal's website or from paperwork that I'm
working from. Electronic ISSNs can also be found on ISSN Online, and
Dataswets. I'm not sure if Ulrich's does them. I've not tried looking for
them there.
