We have been discussing on the CONSER list some questions which came up at 
Midwinter regarding cataloging for the Registry of Digital Masters. For 
those of you who did not attend the digital registry meetings at Midwinter, 
a summary is available at:

http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/~rd13/CIC/Summary.html

One of the questions is whether a series which applies only to the 
electronic version can be added to the print version record when using a 
single record approach. Since this applies to monographs as much as 
(probably more so than) serials, I am interested in hearing the views of 
monographic catalogers on this matter.

Even if you are not involved in digitizing resources at your library, or 
are not involved in getting records for those digitized resources into the 
Registry of Digital Masters, the digital registry record IS the WorldCat 
record, so it's possible you may be using those records.

The DLF Registry of Digital Masters Record Creation Guidelines recommend 
"that a separate record be created for each manifestation when physical 
formats and system requirements differ from the original form of an 
item/object." The CONSER group is also recommending that the separate 
record approach be used for serials in the digital registry. With serials, 
if one institution which uses a separate record approach digitizes some 
volumes of a title, they will put the information about those volumes on 
the electronic version record, and then if another institution which uses a 
single record approach digitizes other volumes of the same title, they will 
put the information about those volumes on the print version record. 
Therefore, no one record will contain information about all of the 
digitized volumes.

However, there are some institutions which are committed to using the 
single record approach and would not be able to contribute records to the 
digital registry if single records were not allowed. The feeling is that it 
would be better for people to have to look at two records to get all of the 
information about volumes that have been digitized than not to have some of 
the information available at all. Therefore, CONSER (and the DLF Registry 
of Digital Masters Working Group) also supports the option of a single 
record approach.

The issue which we are dealing with now has to do with adding a series 
which applies only to the electronic version to the print version record 
when using the single record approach.  There are some CONSER members who 
feel that it's ok to add such a series in subfield f of the 533, but it 
should not be added as an 8XX to the print version record. There are others 
who feel that it is important to provide an added entry for the series.

An example of a series which applies only to the electronic version is 
Cornell University Library historical math monographs. There are at least 2 
records in OCLC for the collection - OCLC #54958588 as BLvl i and #81483580 
as BLvl m. There is a series authority record - ARN 05482924, 010 
no2001037016, established by the University of Washington.

Our math bibliographer asked us to catalog the website and all of the 
monographs on the website. We had most of the monographs in print, so we 
just added a 530 note, an 856, and an 830 for the series. (The 
bibliographer specifically asked us to provide access by the series for these.)

When we have the print version, we normally do not update OCLC, except for 
things which we digitize here, so you can't see any of the single records 
in OCLC, but if you go to our online catalog at http://libcat.uchicago.edu/ 
and select series under "Begins with" and then type Cornell University 
Library historical math monographs in the box below that, you will get the 
records. Clicking on one of the titles will give you the full record and 
then clicking on the link will give you the document.

You can see that Cornell University Library historical math monographs 
(actually a variation of that) appears at the top of each of the individual 
monographs. When I asked about providing access to the name a digital 
collection during one of the RDA discussions, Adam Schiff said that he was 
told by LC that if the name of the collection appears in conjunction with 
all of the digital objects, it can be considered a series.

At the University of Chicago Library, some of our digital collections can 
be considered a series because the name of the collection appears in 
conjunction with all of the digital objects. We use a single record 
approach here, so we add the URL to the print version record in our local 
catalog (and for things that we digitize at the University of Chicago to 
the record in OCLC.) We have been asked by the group which coordinates the 
creation of digital collections here to add the series as well as the URL 
to the print version records but we will not be able to add it to the OCLC 
records if an 8XX which applies only to the electronic version is not 
allowed on a print version record. These will be digital registry records.

So the questions for this group are:

1. Is it important to provide access by a series which applies only to the 
electronic version?

2. If it is important, is it ok to add an 8XX to the print version record 
if using a single record approach?

3. If we define a $5 to the 8XX fields (as we just did for 533 and 538), 
would that make it more acceptable to add an 8XX for the series that 
applies only to the electronic version to the print version record?

4. If it's important to provide access by the series, but not ok to add an 
8XX to the print version record, is there any other way to do it? We have 
discussed adding it in a 7XX as the name of a collection, but my guess is 
that those who oppose adding an 8XX that applies only to the electronic 
version to a print version record would also oppose adding a 7XX that 
applies only to the electronic version to the print version record. I think 
it's a given that some institutions will continue to use the single record 
approach.

Thanks,

Renette
