English abstract

Binghamton University Libraries have used a single record to catalog both print and electronic serials for many years. Proliferation of access to electronic serials has caused the Libraries to consider whether their current cataloging model is the best way to present electronic serial holdings to patrons. In order to assist with the decision whether to change current practice and, if so, what changes to make, the author undertook a survey of current practice and perceptions regarding electronic serial record displays in the library catalog. This article describes current cataloging practice at Binghamton University, outlines the survey methodology, and presents and discusses the results of the survey.
