URLs on print resources: what to do and when to do it

[Procedure]


Table of Contents

Guidelines for Editing Copy with URLs

General situations

Maintained titles (by series or publisher)

Publishers or Series that Frequently have URLs, but are not paid or maintained packages

Packages cataloged as electronic books


Guidelines for Editing Copy with URLs

For licensed/maintained packages, the wording of the “access restricted note” need not match the example precisely. As long as the concept that this is a package that is a subscription/license and not free to all the world is conveyed, the copy is acceptable. The note may appear in a 506, 530, or 856 $z.

In general, if you are “piggybacking” an electronic version onto a print record, whether the resource is free or paid, the following fields should always be present:

006
530
856
949 (to generate a holdings statement)

Some packages will have a 956 (local proxy URL) but not all. Refer to this document or to VERA to find out if a series or publisher has a 956.

General Situations

Single title, not a SERM or licensed, maintained package

If the copy has a URL, and if it points to a free e-resource, accept it. Do not add 949 n.

Table of contents, within a bibliographic record

If the copy has a URL with Table of contents information, accept. Do not add if a table of contents URL is on the book but not in the copy.

Maintained titles (by series or publisher)

[Note: If the cataloger encounters URLs on copy or items (most likely serms) that are part of a series not found on this list, he/she should notify the Associate Head.]

Publishers or Series that Frequently have URLs, but are not paid or maintained packages

This section describes what you should look at when you have a record with a URL. These examples are used because these series or publishers often have an electronic version.

In each of these cases, DO NOT SEEK an electronic version if the URL is not on the copy.
