UCSD follows the same procedure, using the "multiple versions" approach.
We use the record for the print version REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE OWN IT.
We checked with OCLC and they said we did NOT need to add a holdings byte
when we don't own the print.  (It messes up interlibrary loan if you add
the holdings byte), The reason we made the decision to always use the
print copy was so that all the UC campuses records would merge in Melvyl
-- if we based the decision on ownership, we'd create two clusters of
holdings, one for folks who owned print and one for folks who did not.

Our users like the consistent approach and the catalogers appreciate using
existing records instead of having to catalog the ejournals from scratch.
