The Digital Library Federation Registry of Digital Masters Working Group
considered a number of alternatives for noting a digital reproduction on
the print version record when using a single record approach, and finally
decided that 533 would be best. I believe the main reason was that this
information may be migrated to holdings records at some point, and there is
a corresponding holdings field (843) where the 533 information can be
easily migrated.
You are correct that up until now, we have thought of a record with a 533
as being a record for the reproduction itself. That is why it was decided
that the wording in subfield a should be "Also available as electronic
reproduction" in the print version record when using the single record
approach, instead of "Electronic reproduction" which would be used in the
electronic version record when using the separate record approach.
There actually are a number of print version records already in the digital
registry (and thus in WorldCat) with a 533 that says "Electronic
reproduction." Those records were causing problems because some people did,
in fact, interpret them as records for the reproduction itself (even though
there was no $h [electronic resource] in the 245) and were creating
duplicate print version records.
The revised DLF Registry of Digital Masters Record Creation Guidelines will
be published very soon, and I will share the URL with this group as soon as
it is available. Those guidelines say, "... it is preferred that a separate
record be supplied for each manifestation when physical formats and system
requirements differ from the original form of an item/object" but they also
allow for a single record approach, where information about the digital
version is noted on the print version record. The single record examples in
the guidelines have "Also available as electronic reproduction" instead of
"Electronic reproduction" in 533 subfield a. It is hoped that using this
wording will make it more clear that this is actually a record for the
print version.
So back to the original questions - If we are using the single record
approach and there is a series which applies only to the electronic
version, is it ok to trace it on the print version record in an 8XX? If so,
do we need a mechanism to indicate that this series applies only to the
electronic version? If so, what should that mechanism be?
Thanks,
