| Abstract: |
The method described here aims at a complex approach of registering, organising
and providing access to electronic documents in a library environment. Registration of available electronic documents
from subscribed databases, electronic journals to free Internet documents of higher educational and scientific value is
based on the cataloguing services of the ILS. The catalogue records - beside the bibliographic information - contain
subject classification numbers, subject headings, exact description of the availability of the documents with URLs if
relevant. The documents thus become available through the online catalogue, which presents them merged into the general
holdings of the library. For those looking for electronic documents only and prefer gateway type access to them
automated processes create alphabetic and thematic lists based on the MARC records and place them on the library home
page. The items on the lists select some of the information present in the bibliographic record concentrating on titles,
summeries, contents and above all URLs and other availablity information. The system is made complete with a URL
checking mechanism, which worn cataloguers of changes in the availability of documents. The URL and data maintainance
work is again done in the MARC records with normal cataloguing tools. (www.lib.unideb.hu
