Is it possible that Serials Solutions somehow miscoded that 022|y for
your bib record?  Their knowledge base is not recognizing 1534-8431 for
Technical Communications Quarterly.

Can your profile for your Serials Solutions MARC records be tweaked to
exclude 022|y values? One of the customization options is to have
Serials Solutions strip the 022 out and replace it with their own
version.  Their version lists the e-ISSN in the subfield a and the print
ISSN in the subfield y.  Perhaps it is just a matter of Serials
Solutions fixing the 022 they are using for that record?

Hi, I tried out the SFX link in our catalog and it worked correctly.
I can't speak for how SerialsSolutions handles the data, but I wonder if
they don't have the correct ISSN on their record.
