Molly,
A task force of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging's Standing
Committee on Automation is currently working with EBSCO on just such a
project. The task force developed out of a CONSER endeavor to
investigate ways in which to supply access to full text journals. The
task force is defining the basic record and EBSCO will be using CONSER
records for the print as the basis of their creation. We are beginning
wiht EBSCO because they are a CONSER participant, but hope then to work
with other vendors to do the same. John Riemer at the University of
Georgia (jriemer@arches.uga.edu) is the chair of the task force.
Information on the task force is available on the PCC home page at:
