Abstract:The Ohio Library and Information Network, OhioLINK, is a consortium of Ohio's college and university libraries and the State Library of Ohio. Since 1992, when OhioLINK's central catalog was first implemented, the consortium's union listing and serials holing activities have shifted from an emphasis on print holdings in individual libraries for traditional interlibrary lending to dealing with holdings for electronic serials purchased with group licenses and with related issues for linking catalog records, abstracting and indexing data. Current work centers on using one record or separate records for multiple versions of a serial (especially print and electronic), the most comprehensible display for resources owned by the consortium as a group instead of by separate libraries, information about and display of holdings information for the electronic version of serial, and consistent metadata.
