Hi Peter,
We used to use a single print oclc record to display all of our holding
formats too, but I believe you will need to create a separate holding
record for each format now.  I created constant data records for each
format (film only currently received; film only not currently received;
paper only with limited retention, etc.) to make creating the records
easier.  The same Summary statement appears in each record.

When the information displays in WorldCat, for example, you see the
Summary statement.  Clicking on that holdings link will then show you
each format.  OCLC Record # 1743347 for American Journal of Nursing
shows this.  Our OCLC symbol is ASZ if you want to see how our paper,
microfilm and microfiche look.

I have a short how-to manual if that would help.
