Hi,

I don't have the answer to this question.  Indeed I have a similar
question to this.  Our College currently decided to purchase MARC
records from Serial Solutions and prepared to load into our ILS.  We
are debating whether we should load it into our Federated Search
Engine (EnCompass from Endeavor) or we should also load it into our
library catalogue (Voyager from Endeavor).

I just wonder if any one can give me some advice which way is better.
We are concerned about the access of the information for the user
and also the maintenance (change cataloging, edition, and deletion, etc.)
of the records in the future.  Any advice will be a great help.

Thanks in advance,

We have begun loading Serials Solutions records into
our online catalog for electronic journal titles but hesitate
to put order records on the Serials Solutions bibliographic records
for a variety of reasons.  On the other hand, we don't need two
bibliographic records in the OPAC for the same electronic title,
especially since in many cases, we still have a record for the
periodical in paper format.  While we could suppress a second
non-Serials Solutions record in our public catalog or put the
electronic order on the paper record, this makes searching for
duplicate paid subscriptions more difficult.

If you have worked through this situation, particularly with the
Innovative Interfaces system, and have suggestions or solutions,
please call or e-mail me.
