Hi Jane,
Thanks for your input! You're right that it's closer to a CDROM, since
it's available on site rather than online.
The record itself is for a paper periodical (genealogy bulletin to be
precise, the library is a genealogy society run by volunteers), but one
library/branch has a scanned version on a computer. They wanted to be
able to indicate that only that 'branch' has those scans, in a way that
would be visible and easily understandable by their users.
856 seemed the obvious choice, but the whole thing with it appearing as
a link turned us off.
Next choice was a 5XX note, but those are hidden in a tab. Not a lot of
users would think to click on the Notes/Descriptions tab to see more.
After discussing it with the client, we decided (or he decided, at my
suggestion) to do exactly what you said, that is to use field 952$z of
that library's item to indicate that a scanned copy is available at that
library only. That field is very visible and it indicates clearly that
the scanned version is at that library only.
I hadn't thought of making a entire new record for the scanned version
and linking the records through 776. It may have been a way to do it...
Thanks again!

It sounds as though you are describing a database on a computer drive
that is not actually available or connected through the internet. That
means that it will not have a URL, so I would not use an 856 field in
the MARC record. It is an electronic resource and the fixed field
information should reflect that. I would include a note indicating
the extent of the resource and the fact that it is only for use in
that specific library. I think this is closer to cataloging a CDROM
than a website or remotely available database. I would include a
public note in the item record specifying that the resource is only
available for in-library use at the owning library.
Does this sound reasonable to you?

Hello everyone!
I wanted the community's opinion on this. I have a client who has
electronic versions of periodicals, but they are not accessible
online.
(I'm not sure how it works to get them, but I'm told the files are
on a
computer at one of the libraries... anyway.)
I figured we could use 856$3 and/or 856$z to signify that users
can see
copies if they go to XYZ library. But as soon as we put something in
either $3 or $z, both the staff interface and the OPAC show links
(either the text is blue or it shows 'Click here to access...',
even if
there is nothing in 856$u or $a/$d/$f. The links don't do anything if
you click on them.
Does that seem like a bug or it's how MARC is supposed to work? Is
it ok
to use 856 to indicate that there is an electronic copy of the
resource
somewhere even if that copy is not on the Web? I think so, but I
may be
wrong.
We thought about putting that info in a 5XX somewhere, but those are
hidden in the Descriptions/Notes tabs and users might not see the
info.
Thanks for your help!
