For our streaming content, we current add info to the existing DVD record. About 5 years ago when we were deciding how to catalog streaming content, there was a pretty even mix between libraries creating separate records and those adding on to existing records.
Here's what we do: http://iii.library.unt.edu/record=b3765414~S12 * Add a second 007 * 506 with permissions * 533/538 with format info * 856 with link Thanks, Kim Stanton Head, Media Library University of North Texas [email protected] P: (940) 565-4832 F: (940) 369-7396 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ciara Healy Sent: Wednesday, September 15, 2010 8:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Videolib] Two in one day!! FMG FOD and MARC records Is it wrong to use the existing MARC records of the streaming FMG titles you also have on the shelf and just add an 856 field with the link? And then copy catalog the rest? Only the cataloger knows. Though going directly from a spread sheet to a MARC record is way better if it can be done in one fell swoop.

Here's what their web site says about MARC records: Are MARC Records available for titles in Films On Demand?<javascript:toggleElement('faq201');> MARC records are not typically created for digital streaming video titles. MARC records for most DVD & VHS items are available from Films Media Group, and some institutions have adapted these for digital use. To inquire about availability and cost of these records, please call 800-257-5126 and press 2 for a customer service representative to assist you. Other institutions have used FMG-provided metadata as substitutes for MARC records. This is inadequate for us. We have a collection with hundreds of films from them and our ONE cataloger is having to create MARC records for each film so that they can be accessible to our students. What are others doing? We are unwilling to place a link to the database without catalog records, as we tried that with Alexander Street Press and that got virtually no usage. PSU in Portland has done records for one collection, but we have a couple of them.
