I
don’t think this statement is true: Serials Solutions may only use
CONSER records, not OCLC records.
SS will use whatever records your library tells them to
use, even the short temporary records they create themselves in the absence of
anything else, so this is just a matter of adjusting your MARC records profile
with them – the one that was filled out when the original contract was
signed.
Hope
this helps.

Subject: [SERIALST] Adding journal records to CONSER
I would appreciate any advice on this.
We are not and do not want to be a CONSER library.
There’s simply no way to meet the requirements for membership. We are a
Serials Solutions library and get their MARC records. We do catalog some
electronic journals in OCLC, typically ones that are more obscure or simply
smaller. It would be nice to get those records we create as part of our MARC
records, but Serials Solutions may only use CONSER records, not OCLC records.
How does one get a catalog record for a journal added to
CONSER’s database?
Thank you,
Bobby Bothmann
