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

[Kathy Lussier]

Just providing a bit of clarification on this. If you leave off the 
subfield 9, the record will only appear in search results if you are 
using a transcendent record source.

What I was describing before was a case where you would solely be using 
Located URI's without the transcendent bib source. If you don't use 
transcendent record sources, then you can make the records appear 
consortium-wide by adding the consortium to the subfield 9.

Many consortia using Located URI's don't use transcendent record sources 
because they appear in too many places, including searches limited to 
copy locations.

The documentation at 
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.9/_cataloging_electronic_resources_8201_8212_8201_finding_them_in_catalog_searches.html 
describes the difference between the two methods of exposing electronic 
resources.
