Taking the Sting Out of Multiple Format Serials Displays

Abstract

The University of Kentucky (UK) Libraries has instituted several display strategies over the past few years in its efforts to provide easy access to print and electronic journals. Marsha Seamans and Nancy Lewis presented the details of Voyager bibliographic record linking and SFX linking in the UK Libraries catalog. In their tactics session, the presenters described the standardized holdings notes that assist users in getting to the right resources. They also outlined the ongoing procedures and workflows in technical services that create these important displays and keep them current.
