Re: [Evergreen-general] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records
We also combine different editions and formats like paperback and hardcover on bib records, to reduce "duplicate" records and to make title holds simpler, and also get regular requests to separate paperbacks. However, we are also now using Aspen discovery which groups formats by default, and the different formats/editions are much easier to differentiate than in other public catalogs. I'm beginning to wonder if separating formats/editions is a better approach now that we have better tools for display.

Re: [Evergreen-general] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records
We have a mix of separate records and single records. We use Aspen though and if they are in separate records in Evergreen (and they group correctly), Aspen shows the different editions to patrons who then can place a hold for a specific copy. - Millissa On Wed, Mar 20, 2024 at 9:43 AM Joan Kranich via Evergreen-general < evergreen-general@list.evergreen-ils.org> wrote: > Hi, > > In C/W MARS a bibliographic record may contain items for paperback and for > hardcover.

[Evergreen-general] Paperback vs. Hardcover Records
Hi, In C/W MARS a bibliographic record may contain items for paperback and for hardcover. We have had some recommendations to separate paperback items from hardcover items. This is a change on the cataloging side but also with how holds would be filled. Do any of you use separate bibliographic records for paperback vs. hardcover or do you have another workflow to make it easy for staff and patrons to place holds to be filled by one format vs. the other? Thank you.
