Adding Item Records for Linked, Online Full Text

  • URLs for online versions of the item in hand should be tested to verify they do go to the equivalent online, full text resource, and not just a Table of Contents or abstract

  • Delete 856s that do not go to the full, online version unless they specifically indicate they point to a portion of the item only

  • Catalogers should add a call/item record for a full, online version of the item in hand when there is a corresponding 856 in the bib record and we do not already have a separate record in The CAT for the electronic version:

    • Call Number = Use the LC call number and add |zEBOOK
    • Class Scheme = LC
    • Library = Online
    • Home location = Online
    • Item Type = Online
    • System generated item id (type AUTO)
    • Circulate checked
    • Statistic will be 1 ER Mono Remote Added location
