[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] E-Books and item records ... again

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi Don,

It depends.

 From your question, I'm assuming you are using Located URIs since the 
WATS library can't see your electronic resources.

There is a global flag you can enable to see these electronic resources 
when scoped to the consortium (ASLAN), but they won't show up for users 
specifically searching the WATS library.

You could add a second subfield 9 with the WATS library to your 856 
field. This would continue to display just one URL on the record, but 
force it to appear in the WATS library scope. Alternatively, you could 
add a second 856 field for the WATS library if you want two URL's to 
display: one that should be used for ATS and one that should be used for 
WATS.

If you want the resource to appear for all branches, you could put the 
consortium in subfield 9 instead of ATS.
