This study examines the prevalence of medical subject headings in vendorsupplied cataloguing records for publications contained within aggregated databases or publisher collections. In the first phase, the catalogue of one Canadian academic medical library was examined to determine the extent to which medical subject headings (MeSH) are available in the vendor-supplied records. In the second phase, these results were compared to the catalogues of other Canadian academic medical libraries in order to reach a generalization regarding the availability of MeSH headings for electronic resources. MeSH was more widespread in records for electronic journals but was noticeably lacking in records for electronic monographs, and for Canadian publications. There is no standard for ensuring MeSH are assigned to monograph records for health titles and there is no library in Canada with responsibility for ensuring that Canadian health publications receive Medical Subject Headings. It is incumbent upon libraries using MeSH to ensure that vendors are aware of this need when purchasing record sets.

This article reviews how electronic journals are cataloged and displayed for users of health science libraries. The Web pages of 138 health sciences libraries in the United States and Canada were examined to determine if the library provided users with a Web-based electronic journals list and whether the library used single or multiple bibliographic records to catalog print and electronic journal versions. Trends in cataloging, naming, organizing, and presenting electronic journals are identified, and summary data are presented.
