I'm not sure this is exactly what you're asking, but we added an 856 line to all of our journals that states,"Click here to check for an online version; scroll down to see what the library has in print."

Then if we do have a viable, paid online subscription there is a note on the holdings, as I stated previously, - "(Subscription continued online; see Internet link above.)"

Subject: [SERIALST] Paper and electronic journals

Hello all,
After reading all your wonderful suggestions regarding "paper to electronic", I thought I would ask my question as well.

We just started cataloging our journals (since we finally got an automated ILS system) after importing the basic records from SERHOLD. I have been adding URLs if available no matter if we have full-text access to this journal or not, since publishers change they access rules all the time. The problem is that this makes it difficult to know which journals we have full-text access to and for which journals this is only a link to the publisher website.

Should I indicate in the 856 z field if the library has full-text access or not?
How do you differentiate between IP and single-user login access? Do you add a note?

I am looking forward to you suggestions.
Hella
