“…In 2004, Xiaotian Chen, et al 8 presented the results of a 2003 survey conducted by a task force of the Illinois Library Computer Systems Organization (ILCSO) (now Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI)) that focused on e-resource cataloging practices in academic libraries and consortia. With over 60 responses from institutions and consortia, the survey found that libraries were "dealing with a volatile set of unstable resources which change names, contents, providers, and URLs with alarming frequency and thereby require repeated revisions to their surrogate records" (p.174).…”

Libraries face many challenges in making electronic resources accessible and discoverable. In particular, the exponentially increasing number of licensed and open access electronic resources and the dynamic nature of consortial collections (platform changes, title transference between packages, and package overlap) present challenges for cataloging and discovery. From March 21 to April 10, 2017, the authors performed a selected review of library literature and conducted a survey of library consortia worldwide to ascertain the cataloging models, strategies, and advanced technological tools used to ensure discovery of consortial collections. The findings from the literature review and survey are summarized in this article.

Libraries made the decision in early 2012 to convert its bibliographic records from a single record approach, with multiple formats of a title on one bibliographic record, to a separate record approach, where each format receives its own record. This decision was several years in the making, as it was a change that would potentially require breaking apart more than 20,000 records. It would involve numerous staff from different departments and would require adjustments for all staff who worked with library users. This article will discuss the factors that pushed the UNR Libraries to make this decision to split its records and the challenges technical services staff faced in managing the project. The authors will present the different procedures developed for splitting monographic and serial records and the different tools that were used to make the process work: Millennium (especially the ERM and Global Update modules), MarcEdit, and Serials Solutions' MARC Updates service.
