Cataloging White Papers

Remote Access Electronic Serials (Online Serials)

Overview Institutions use several methods to provide access to electronic serials; one method is to create AACR2/MARC 21 records for online serials in the OPAC. Other methods include A-Z listings of electronic resources and links to article and citation databases through link resolvers. New products and tools are evolving and institutions often use a combination of these, including OPAC records, to provide access to digitized content. Providing records for online versions of a resource in the OPAC is a way to allow users to find all related formats of the resource (e.g. print, CD-ROM, and online) in one place.
