"Located URIs" might be what you're thinking of:
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/1.6/draft/html/electronicresourcesvisible.html
These let you scope the visibility of the e-resource to a particular
library or set of libraries.

Alternately, you can make the bib records transcendant if they should be
visible to all libraries in your consortium:
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.0/draft/html/electronicresourcesvisible.html

(Curiously the 2.0 docs document the older method - transcendance -
whereas the 1.6 docs document the newer method - located URIs)
