1. Search title in Sirsi; if record found for online version, add the new url to that record in an 856 field:
   
   856 40 $u http://www.webadress.com
   
   Also, click on the Vol/Copy tab and make sure the Home Location is not set to WITHDRAWN (if it is, change it to: INTERNET)
   
   
2. If no record is found in Sirsi, search on OCLC, with Format: Computer files (/com) (note: if you don't find anything, search again with Format: Continuing Resources (/ser)
   
   
3. If an OCLC record is found found, export to Sirsi.  
   
   
4. If there are multiple records, prefer:
   
   1. records with 042 field "lcd"
   2. records with BibLvl "I"
   3. successive entry records (EncLvl "0")
   4. earliest record
   5. JSTOR records
   (If in doubt, pick one and export it; add a note about any questions or problems to the serials cataloger)
   
   
5. After export, search title in Sirsi; add new url (from the cataloging request received from Electronic Resources, etc.) in the 856 field:
   
   856  40   $uhttp://www.newurl.com
   
   Delete all other 856 fields already in OCLC record.

   Note: If the url is not on the printout or list, you can get it from searching the title in Serials Solutions:

    http://ps4ps6lm2r.search.serialssolutions.com/

   Right click the hot link next to the appropriate publisher/vendor and copy the url (use the second http: field, after the one that starts: http://ps4ps6lm2r.search.serialssolutions.com/)

6.  If no record was found on OCLC, make a note on the title list indicating this, and create brief temp bib record on Sirsi, including:
   

         130 0_      <title> (Online)

         245 00      <title> h [electronic resource].

         856 40      $uhttp://www.newurl.com
   
   
7. Return all lists & printouts to Serials Cataloger, so that cataloging can be completed at a later date.
   
   
8. When doing pre-cataloging, the Serials Cataloger should check for any order records attached and if one is found, code it RECEIVED.
