21. CATALOGING RECOMMENDATIONS
Create a “hook” to pull all ebook titles together
eg. subject 690 > Ebooks
Location/format designator to limit OPAC search
Use GMD &h[electronic resource] as it applies
Link to individual title vs. publisher’s Webpage
Add corporate author heading for vendor/publisher
Use vendor title series, if available
Use 730 TITLE (Online) heading h

22. CATALOGING RECOMMENDATIONS
Differentiate general vs. reference ebook titles eg. ebook, refeb
Use ISBNs for electronic versions when available
Use “base” call number for browsing and lists
Prefer ONE bib record concept unless large aggregator collection; provides discoverability
Use vendor records for large collections
Use 538 system requirements and 533 reproduction notes, as appropriate
Validate records using routine database and authority maintenance processes
