Our policy is to have absolutely identical editions - print and
online.
I think the DOI technology allows to resolve the problem. We assign a
DOI to every published document (article, errata, personalia, letters
to the Editor, books review, etc.) except adverts.
And then it is easy to identify a document and to find its physical
location - URL.

WP> Subject: When is a full text journal not full text?
WP> I guess we all know of titles that don't include in the electronic version
WP> everything that is in the printed - apart from adverts - but we have
WP> probably just tended to accept the fact. However, with more movement to
WP> e-only provision of collections, we will be providing less content to our
WP> users in the process and generating confusion when they have reference to
WP> material that is not in the electronic title.
WP> A particular instance has prompted these thoughts, but I would be interested
WP> more generally to know if any librarians on the list have attempted to
WP> record titles that are not completely full text, and if any publishers can
WP> share with us their policy on this matter.
WP> Thanks.
