Cataloging
remote access electronic serials
| REFERENCES |
See
CONSER Cataloging Manual, Module 31, for more detailed information and
examples. |
| DEFINITION |
This
document focuses on the cataloging of remote access serials –
serials that are available electronically via the Internet. It covers
both serials that have print counterparts (whether made available online
retrospectively or concurrently with print) and those that are published
in electronic form only. |
| CRITERIA
FOR CATALOGING |
See
General criteria for inclusion of electronic
journals in the library catalog |
| ACCESS
TO E-SERIALS |
The
Library currently provides patrons with 3 different routes of access
to electronic serials:
1 - the
Voyager catalog
2 - the
Library's E-Journals
web page
3 - SFX
services (E-Journal
Finder & Find it@PUL)
There is
a considerable overlap among these three, but none represents by itself
the Library's complete holdings at this time. This document addresses
the Voyager side of e-serial cataloging only.
IMPORTANT:
Cataloging and maintenance of e-serials in Voyager usually requires
corresponding work to provide access via one or both of the other two
routes. |
| CATALOGING
ALTERNATIVES |
There
are two basic ways of cataloging e-serials:
1 –
single-record approach:
Brief information
(note, link,& holdings) about an electronic
serial is attached to a record for the corresponding print version.
2 –
full separate cataloging:
A complete
catalog record is created that specifically describes the electronic
serial.
For instructions
on when and how to apply option 1, see: Single-Record
Approach for E-Journals
The remainder
of this document covers option 2. |
