We started with merged records but ran into issues when we started weeding the print copies. 

In addition, for ILL purposes it’s much easier to find the older, non-digital copies if there are separate records in OCLC.

I too suggest separate records in Alma. Primo does a pretty good job of merging them so patrons can see print and e- holdings together.

We have just moved to ALMA and keeping separate records for different formats have saved us a lot of work and headaches.

When searching the catalogue, the facets and filters offer more accurate results if the records are separate and the fixed fields are correct to the format.

It is worth it, especially in the long run should your system change.

Hi Maria,

We have lots of piggybacked records and we are now in the process of migrating to another system, ALMA. All of our e-resources have been separated from the print resources in the new system, so if I was starting out, I would go with the separate record per format method.

Best, Matt

Subject: [SERIALST] E-Journal cataloging
 

Hi,

 

Our print Serials collection is not in use right now, due to the pandemic. We are adding more individual e-journals, as students and faculty request them. I am wondering:

 

  • What are the benefits and drawbacks of separate e-journal catalog records vs. attaching the e-journal record to the print record?
  • How do you handle yours – separate records or not?
  • What are your workflows for successful individual e-journal cataloging?

 

 

I’m just starting out with managing individual e-journal subscriptions. Any cataloging tips would be appreciated.

Nipissing University is committed to the health and safety of students and employees. Given the ongoing developments regarding COVID-19 in Ontario, Nipissing University employees other than those needed for required duties will be working from home effective Monday, March 23, 2020. This protocol will be in effect until Tuesday, April 14, 2020 at which point we will re-evaluate the situation.


While we endeavor to remain business as usual, we thank our campus community and stakeholders for their understanding that there may be some unanticipated gaps particularly as we familiarize ourselves with remote work tools and manage teleconferences using mobile phones.

As this is a very fluid situation, we will continue to monitor closely and provide updates as appropriate.

There may be a delay in my response, so thank you for your understanding.
