ISSNs for microform records/NOTIS's MDAS Elena Romaniuk 18 May 1993 20:30 UTC

We are in the process of implementing MDAS and would like to take advantage of
the "hooks to holdings" feature. We are adding ISSNs to bibliographic records
for the letterpress format, but I would like to get some advice on what to do
about the microform records.

I have seen several messages which indicate that the hook to holdings feature
does not work at the moment if the same ISSN appears in more than one
bibliographic record. Assuming that this problem will be fixed, is it
appropriate to input the same ISSN into all formats of the serial, i.e.,
letterpress, microfilm, microfiche?

We have multiple bibliographic records if we hold a serial title in more than
one format.

Any advice you could give me would be appreciated.
