GUIDELINES FOR SETTING UP 793 $a FOR ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
Prepared by: Adolfo Tarango, Nov. 21, 2005
Revised and updated: Sept. 26, 2008
(NOTE: This applies to both paid and open access titles)
1. If there are eight or more titles that are grouped under a common domain, create a distinct 856 $z [package name] and 793 title hook for the grouping, and send the name to Adolfo for approval. As a general rule, 793s should be suffixed with "online journals" and/or "online monographs." You can start using the 793 once it has been added to the e-resources tracking pages (contact Margaret for UCSD resources and Renee for CDL resources). For paid resources, the distinct title hook will be used in the $a; for open access resources it would be used in the $p.
793 0_ JSTOR online journals.
793 0_ Open access resource; selected by the UC Libraries. $p BioMed Central online journals.
793 0_ AccessMedicine online monographs.
793 0_ UCSD licensed databases.
2. If there are seven or fewer titles in a package (i.e., total number extant, not the number that we have cataloged or paid for) and there is no apparent need to set up a distinct 793 title hook:
for paid titles (not applicable to monographs), use:
793 0_ Miscellaneous <UC or UCSD> subscription online journals.
for open access titles, use:
793 0_ Open access resource; selected by the <UC or UCSD> Libraries.
3. If there are seven or fewer titles and there is a need to set up a distinct 793 hook, discuss with Adolfo.
4. International documents: Per the January 2008 SCFG meeting, assign the following >793 for international documents (not including EU documents):
793 0_ Open access resource; selected by the <UC or UCSD> Libraries.
Even if there are eight or more titles grouped under a common domain, do not create a separate hook for the grouping.
5. Journal analytics: When we have a serial record for an analytic and have decided to analyze the online monographs, construct a >793 for the serial and add $p for the name of the journal suffixed by "online monographs." . The e-resources tracking page will be updated under package name to reflect the new 793 statements.
793 0_ Project Muse online journals. $p Social text online monographs.
793 0_ JSTOR online journals. $p Philosophical perspectives online monographs.
