Re: JSTOR titles Pennington, Buddy D. 05 Mar 2010 16:32 UTC
We just did something very similar with our Innovative catalog. We created tabs for both "Articles & Databases" and "Online Journal" in our catalog. http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/search~S3. We could probably do a better job of making it look more integrated but at least users can easily go back and forth between the various search tools from the catalog. That said, we are continuing to use Serials Solutions' MARC records service for all of our electronic journals.

What we chose to do instead, is create a journals tab within our OPAC and home page, that does an SFX search. The patron does not realize they are searching a separate system, and everyone finds everything they need. We have ran it this way since about 2005 and it has worked extremely well. We did load our print holdings into SFX via an import. So, the users find everything they need. In addition, new tools like Primo can ingest your link resolver database, potentially eliminating the need to load all that into your ILS. - Sherri Parker On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 9:26 AM, Martha Spicuzza <mspicuzza@hillsdale.edu> wrote: We add full catalog records for all JSTOR titles.

There is a debate at our library regarding this practice. On one side, we own JSTOR titles so they should be in the catalog. The other side of the debate is that JSTOR titles are accessible through our JSTOR subscription, which functions more as a database, so they need not be in the catalog. What has your library decided on this issue? Lori B.
