We rely on SerialsSolutions loads for the bibliographic record. For tracking payments, we will make use of the extant record for the print edition and add codes and historical notes to indicate the current and previous formats. IW
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.
