Just providing a bit of clarification on this. If you leave off the subfield 9, the record will only appear in search results if you are using a transcendent record source.

What I was describing before was a case where you would solely be using Located URI's without the transcendent bib source. If you don't use transcendent record sources, then you can make the records appear consortium-wide by adding the consortium to the subfield 9.

Many consortia using Located URI's don't use transcendent record sources because they appear in too many places, including searches limited to copy locations.

The documentation at http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.9/_cataloging_electronic_resources_8201_8212_8201_finding_them_in_catalog_searches.html describes the difference between the two methods of exposing electronic resources.

Donald,

You can also leave off the |9 if you want all the consortium to retrieve the record in a search. To see how we did a record for a resource available to the entire consortium, check http://gapines.org/eg/opac/record/5737867?query=mango%20languages;qtype=keyword;locg=9 and then scroll down to view the MARC record.

If you just want to give the two libraries access to the same URL, I would suggest adding the |9 for each location to one 856 rather than multiple 856s. I personally would only use 2 856s if the link differed for the 2 libraries.

Hi Don,

It depends.

From your question, I'm assuming you are using Located URIs since the WATS library can't see your electronic resources.

There is a global flag you can enable to see these electronic resources when scoped to the consortium (ASLAN), but they won't show up for users specifically searching the WATS library.

You could add a second subfield 9 with the WATS library to your 856 field. This would continue to display just one URL on the record, but force it to appear in the WATS library scope. Alternatively, you could add a second 856 field for the WATS library if you want two URL's to display: one that should be used for ATS and one that should be used for WATS.

If you want the resource to appear for all branches, you could put the consortium in subfield 9 instead of ATS.

    Hi Folks,

    This question harkins back to the discussion we had some months
    ago about best practices for ebook; should there be an item record
    associated with an e-title? There seemed to be a consensus that an
    item record isn't necessary.

    Here is our new scenario. We have a bib record that is already
    available in the ATS Library. The WATS Library (which is part of
    our consortium) wants it to appear in their catalog as well. How
    is that done if there is no attached item record?

    Hoping this is just a newbie question.

    Thanks!

    Don
