<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">Hi,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">We catalog e-books that we buy in large groups, firm order (selective orders), or have a DDA program for. Normally the vendors and consortia will provide your
library with MARC records, and your cataloging staff can edit records (MARCEdit), and load them into your ILS. Then if you have EDS (or whatever discovery layer), your e-book records would be harvested along with other records, and appear in the discovery
layer. Thus, you don’t have to worry about maintaining e-books on a title-by-title basis in the discovery layer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">So for example we have bought Oxford Scholarship Online e-books. Oxford tells us when new MARC records are available. Our cataloging staff get the records,
edit them, and load them into our ILS where they will appear in the OPAC (public catalog). EDS harvests our catalog automatically, and in a few days the e-books appear on the EDS side. Large amounts of e-books can be handled in batches.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">I would say that with the amount of e-books (firm order and large groups) and all the streaming video subscriptions we’ve been getting (where the MARC records
get treated much like e-books), it’s quite a large burden that’s being shifted onto the cataloging staff. So be careful and make sure they aren’t getting stressed out by the workload.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">We don’t catalog the incidental e-books that pop up in EBSCOHost databases, or a few other things we subscribe to.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:#1F497D">Hope this helps,</span></p>
