Cataloging Your E-Reader

Cataloging Your Ereader The Kindle record displays after a title, author or keyword search.

Cataloging Your eBooks Same record? 1.Keep track of which eBooks are on what E-reader 2.Catalog search for title or author will display E-reader 3.No fake holds or fake barcodes to maintain Separate record? 1.More technically correct to have separate eBook record 2.If eBook is part of book MARC record, can place holds by title…but have to match to device! 3.Will have to assign “fake” barcodes to keep up with at inventory time
