5.4 Dissemination of Electronic Online Titles
Depositories are encouraged to add item numbers for electronic only titles to their selection profiles. Access to these titles is provided via the Persistent Uniform Resources Locator (PURL) included in the Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) records available in the Catalog of U.S. Government Publications (CGP). A list of new electronic only titles is also posted monthly.
GPO also encourages depositories to include MARC records for electronic only titles in their local catalogs. GPO offers two options for downloading records from the CGP. Up to 20 records may be e-mailed at a time from the CGP. Depositories may also download up to 1,000 records at a time using our Z39.50 client. Information on how to connect to our Z39.50 client is available here. A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page for the Z39.50 is available here.
Remember when you add electronic only titles that you will not receive anything tangible for those titles.
