[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] electronic resources without items

[Soulliere, Robert]

We use the 856 9 subfield method:

Here is an example of the 856 field:
‡yClick here to read the ebook ‡9MOHAWK ‡uhttp://ezproxy.mohawkcollege.ca:2048/login?url=http://proquestcombo.safaribooksonline.com/?uiCode=mohawkc&xmlId=0738431389

And the catalogue record:
http://libcat.mohawkcollege.ca/opac/en-CA/skin/default/xml/rdetail.xml?r=41292&t=safari&tp=keyword&d=0&hc=698&rt=keyword

Notice:
‡9MOHAWK
This indicates that this resource should appear in searches at the location with the "MOHAWK" short name. This would be our entire system and make the item visible at all locations (org units). In a consortium or if you want to make an electronic resource visible at a specific organization match the 9 subfield to the desired org unit short name. I believe more than one 9 subfield is possible.

Hi there,

I have a question for the community regarding electronic resources. Our electronic resources are not showing up in our catalogue and I'm guessing that it's because we don't have any items attached. However, when we look at other Evergreen sites, we've noticed that others have their electronic resources showing without holdings. Would someone be willing to share how you're getting your bib records to show that don't have items attached?

Thanks!
Gordana
