Ann:
  I am responding to your question, but I am posting the response to
Serialst, in addition to Autocat, because I believe that other serials
catalogers are interested in both your question and the responses.

>>From a workshop given by Crystal Graham at the NASIG (North American
Serials Interest Group) conference, June 21, 1996 at Albuquerque, N.M.:

  First of all, Multiple versions cataloging is prohibited by AACR2, which
requires separate records.  In addition, format integration requires
different formats for the print and the electronic version records.
HOWEVER, _Guidelines_for_the_Bibliographic_Description_of_Reproductions_
provide tacit approval of single record.

  Crystal then gave some examples of how you can put the print and
electronic versions onto one record.
[I am not reproducing the entire record here -- Mitch]

  245 00 Classical and quantum gravity.
  538    Mode of access (electronic version): Internet.  Address:
         http://www.iop.org/EJ/welcome
  856 7  $z View the electronic version of the journal (Access restricted
         to UCSD IP addresses only) $u http://www.iop.org/EJ/welcome
         $2 http

Your suggestion of 500 "Also available as ..." would be just as valid, in
my opinion.

Subject: Cataloging question

I am cataloging a serial publication called Nevada Department of Business
and Industry Directory.  The publication includes a note indicating that
it is also available as an Internet site.

I'd like to include their www address in the record, but I'm not sure
exactly where to put it.  I don't feel right adding an 856 because the
cataloging record is for the paper copy rather than the Internet version
and I can't use a 530 because it doesn't seem to be an additional
"physical" form to me, so I am thinking about just adding a 500 note
saying "Also available at:..."

Can anyone give me some advice on how this situation is handled by other
libraries?

Thanks in advance
