There were some good presentations on this subject at the NASIG
conference this year. It seems that the trend is to load brief records
for electronic, even if you have the single record approach for print
and microform.

Dear colleagues,

Currently, whenever possible, we are using one bibliographic record to
provide access to all formats--print, microform, online.  We are
reconsidering this policy due to the record maintenance involved and
the inability to simply load records for groups of titles.

What are other libraries doing?

In the real world, is there a trend toward one record or multiple
records?

Does the decision depend on the type of electronic access--a JSTOR
archive vs. titles in aggregators?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
