Creating LDR's for Electronic journals Marilyn Creamer 13 Dec 2004 15:57 UTC

This hasn't been discussed in a while and I was wondering what libraries
are doing in the way of creating, or not creating, LDR's for electronic
journals.  For those libraries who are, do you create them only for
journals whose licenses allow use for ILL?  Do you specify the provider
(publisher/aggregator) in a $n field of the LDR, given the often multiple
856's listing different domains in the OCLC bib record?

We are currently just adding our holdings symbol to the record on OCLC, but
are thinking about the benefits of creating LDR's, and the work flow
involved in choosing the titles to create them for.

Thanks,
Marilyn
