Cataloging IEEE Electronic Proceedings (2 messages) Marcia Tuttle 05 Dec 2002 22:18 UTC
----------1 Date: Thu, 05 Dec 2002 14:53:53 -0500 From: John Buelow <john.buelow@vt.edu> Subject: Cataloging IEEE electronic proceedings This topic is of broad interest. We are thinking of purchasing OCLC's WorldCat Collection Set MARC records for the IEEE proceedings. We think this would handle the updating problem. However, these records seem to treat all conferences monographically. Do they? And what's the best way to link monographic records for the electronic version to the record for the ongoing paper version, when the paper has been cataloged on a serial record? How many links must we make?

We add links and holdings records for the online to our existing print records for the journals (along with other pertinent information). For proceedings that are cataloged as serials (by us and/or oclc) we found that we could do a keyword search in the IEEE conference proceedings site, pull up all pertinent proceedings and link the search url to the record in our catalog. This works very well, took care of new conference proceedings being added, etc. What patrons are taken to is a screen of individual year's links that they can select from to enter the year they want. I am not sure that this will work in the new redesign of the IEEE website (happening even as we write). I am hoping that it will. We may have to re-do the search links so the strategy will work in the new database architecture. In the long run definitely worth it. If it doesn't work we'll try to devise something that would produce a similar result.
