Access through the UB Libraries' Catalog For all electronic journals for which access is to be provided through the University Libraries' website, there will also be access through the catalog. Although currently that access can be only bibliographic, the linkage needed for direct access from the catalog record to the journal itself in a web-based successor to the present system or a web interface for the catalog will be included in the bibliographic records. Include a 538 field in the bibliographic record. Create a copy statement. If the run of the electronic edition is finite, provide the inclusive holdings.
Electronic edition consists of the full content of the print edition.
Electronic journals are much more commonplace now than when the region was established in March 1996. A web interface for the catalog is scheduled for implementation in 1998. The web interface for the catalog will provide the capability of activating URLs in bibliographic records. The URLs which are now contained in the bibliographic records are the official URLs for the journals. A continuation of the practice of creating and maintaining information records will necessitate changing those URLs to ones for the corresponding information records.
