NOTES

All web resources require a $f in the 948 with one of the following values: "fd" (databases), "j" (journals), "ebk" (e-books), or "e" (other/misc).  An additional code is necessary if a resource is to be included in Find it!: "webfeatdb" for databases, and "imagedb" for images.  These values only need to appear once in a record, usually in the inputting 948 field. If it is not there, include it in the cataloging 948.

All manually cataloged e-resources are now purled before they come to a cataloger. Please verify that the URL begins with “http://resolver.library ... "
