Scope: This document outlines special considerations for e-books during the fastcat procedure. It assumes that staff are already familiar with LTS Procedure #4, Fastcat and LTS Procedure #4a#3c, Fast-cataloging. We strive to keep the e-fastcat procedure as close to our regular fastcat procedure as possible. The differences outlined below are largely due to either (a) additional/different cataloging fields required for an e-resource, or (b) the lack of a tangible item in the e-resource format.
...
- Unsuppress the record if needed
- Change the instance status to cataloged and add the appropriate cataloged date.
- Add the Statistical code “Special format: ebk – Ebook”
- Add a transaction data in Administrative note using the ,,f macro. It should read
date:YYYYMMDD ttype:f userid:[netid] ploc:lts
Editing the holdings record:

- Add a transaction data holdings note using the ,,f macro. It should read
