It is always a better thing to get a legitimate record for the item in had rather than to get “creative” with an nonmatching record. You never know when a mishmash record will cause other problems down the line. There are reasons for cataloging standards.
If you use OCLC for a bibliographic utility, there is likely a good e-resource record you can use. If not, deriving one from a good print record is not that hard. Elaine J.

Changing Form to "s" actually changes a print record into an electronic record. Technically I should add a whole new bib record for the electronic version. (Lot o' work) Creating a copy/item record would be less work, and as Jennifer points out you could then use the Circ Modifier as a filter. But that doesn't fit into the default search filter options. There's always a problem when a cataloger gets "creative". I probably should go ahead and just find a legitimate bib record for the titles and be done. Oh well ...

I don’t know if the 006/06 is also included in the filter or if it can be added. Are you adding an 856 to a record for another format rather than using a MARC record for the e-resource? Elaine J.

What hook can be added to the bib record so that the Search Filter can be used? Thanks, Don -- Don Butterworth Faculty Associate / Librarian III B.L.
