Electronic resources
The rapid expansion of the Internet, along with the introduction of eBooks
(electronic books) and ejournals, has resulted in a vast number of electronic
resources available to the library patron. To identify and access these resources,
you can create MARC records that contain information about, linking entries for,
and direct access to, these electronic resources. To enable this access, the Library
of Congress has added or changed several field (tag) definitions in its guidelines
for cataloging. If your library is networked or InternetĆenabled, the 856 tag can
provide a direct hyperlink to many of these resources.
In the following sections, you'll find general guidelines for the 856 tag and
information on some of the cataloging options available to you. Following that,
you'll find system requirements and considerations. You'll also find guidelines
for adding links to related (or additional) materials to a record and for cataloging
specific electronic resources, such as eBooks and Web sites.
Each section includes information on many of the necessary tags and examples of
completed MARC records.
Note: Because of the evolving nature of electronic resources and the ongoing
changes in cataloging them, this information may become outdated. For
the latest information, please see the sources listed on page 369.
Tag 856ĊElectronic Location and Access
The 856 tag, Electronic Location and Access, has been assigned by the Library of
Congress to identify and locate electronic resources from within a MARC record.
You can use the 856 tag to provide access to related material, such as a Web page
about an author or an image file on your network that contains pictures of the
subject of the book. The 856 tag can also provide direct access to the item
described in the MARC record (e.g., an eBook or Web site) or to an electronic
version of the cataloged item.
