When a collection of journal articles is received in an electronic, physical format, such as a DVD-ROM, CD-ROM or flash drive, it is monographic by nature and is cataloged as a monograph.
However, because it is an archive of past journal articles, it will also be cataloged for inclusion on the Journal list.
- Catalog title as a monograph.
- For inclusion on the Journal list:
- Add a DVD-ROM (or CD-ROM, etc.) item record to the serial record for the journal title. It’s OK to add to a print record.
- Under the MARC holdings,
- Add a MEDIA location for the holding library.
- Add an |x note in the 852 explaining that the item is cataloged as a monograph and giving the OCLC# or CATKEY.
Examples:
DVD-ROM cataloged as monograph on #o01754597.
Flash drive cataloged as monograph on CATKEY # 12345.
- In the 866, add a summary holdings note, such as:
$80 $a1972-2005 historical backfile on DVD-ROM.
$80 $a1985-2015 historical backfile on flash drive.
- Add a DVD-ROM (or CD-ROM, etc.) item record to the serial record for the journal title. It’s OK to add to a print record.
