Currently individual e-books are ordered through GOBI by a copy cataloger, who gives a printout of the order to the Original Monographs/Special Formats Cataloger. The cataloger then waits for email conformation from the vendor before receiving and loading the order and cataloging the bibliographic record. Requests for cataloging e-books are also received via email from Acquisitions/Electronic Resources Management Group. In most cases the cataloger must find and download the OCLC records and then catalog the e-books. Some e-book collection sets have copy available directly from OCLC. The Head of Cataloging and Metadata Services is responsible for ordering and loading these collection records into Sirsi.

Requests from the Electronic Resources Management Group also contain the correct URLs. Always add the Rice ezproxy (http:ezproxy.rice.edu/login?url=) before the URL for all purchased e-books.

When cataloging delete any unneeded 856 or 956 fields. Add or edit the correct URL and change the 956 field to an 856 field if necessary so that the URL becomes visible in the public catalog
