I haven't received any further response to this message, so I am assuming
that monographic catalogers do not have a problem with adding a series that
applies only to the electronic version to the print version record when
using the single record approach (when adding access for the electronic
version to the print version record instead of creating a separate
electronic version record.) If this is not a correct assumption, please let
me know.
Thanks,
Renette
