Jackie,
Thanks. Saw Guides appear.
On Electronic Journal (I've mentioned this onsite a few times to different people, but probably worth framing here), I do not think we'd see electronic journal as a new resource type. Just like we wouldn't see electronic book as one.
The electronic part is the delivery mechanism (if you will) - the journal is a same journal regardless of if it is in electronic or printed form. I believe the e-indication needs to be divorced from the resource type so you could select (a) the resource type, book, journal, article, chapter and (b) if it was electronically available of not.
This allows far better structure, and hence function, to be built upon the data. As a student, I may just want the book so would want to bring back all the books regardless of how I get it. I may then want to further refine if I want the print or the e-version. On the flip, you may want to say 'show me whats available electronically' and bring back all the articles, books and journals.
Hope that makes sense,
Cheers
Ian
