Donald,
You can also leave off the |9 if you want all the consortium to retrieve the
record in a search. To see how we did a record for a resource available to
the entire consortium, check
http://gapines.org/eg/opac/record/5737867?query=mango%20languages;qtype=keyword;locg=9
and then scroll down to view the MARC record.
If you just want to give the two libraries access to the same URL, I would
suggest adding the |9 for each location to one 856 rather than multiple
856s. I personally would only use 2 856s if the link differed for the 2
libraries.

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.

Hi Folks,
This question harkins back to the discussion we had some months ago about
best practices for ebook; should there be an item record associated with an
e-title? There seemed to be a consensus that an item record isn't necessary.
Here is our new scenario. We have a bib record that is already available in
the ATS Library. The WATS Library (which is part of our consortium) wants it
to appear in their catalog as well. How is that done if there is no attached
item record?
Hoping this is just a newbie question.
Thanks!
Don
