Rosana, is the new order record for the online version attached to a brief bib, or does it get attached to the full bib record received through your Serials Solutions MARC updates?

We get MARC updates from Serials Solutions.  For payment purposes we close the order for the print and create a new order for the online version.

Subject: [SERIALST] Switching print journals to online-only

We are beginning to switch more of our print journal titles to online and need to come up with coherent procedures for making the change.  I would be interested in hearing from others about how they do this.

Do you catalog the new format as a new title, or do you use the existing bibliographic record?  Do you close the order for the print title and create a new order for the online version, or do you adapt the print order record to reflect the new situation?

Thanks for your input.
