“Are MARC records available for JSTOR content?

Journals + Primary Source Content

JSTOR creates and enters new cataloging records or updates existing cataloging records in OCLC for each title, current or previous, in the archive. The records include the URL for each title in the 856 MARC field.

Currently, the only way to locate all the cataloging records for each title in a JSTOR collection is to conduct a title-by-title search in OCLC. When reviewing records for potential downloading to your local system, please ensure that there is not a MARC field indicating “Record reported for deletion.” In such cases, a different record should be located and reviewed for downloading.

Books at JSTOR

Books at JSTOR offers free, high-quality MARC records from OCLC. The MARC records are available to all participating institutions, regardless of whether they are OCLC affiliates. 

More information about the OCLC MARC records is available in this FAQ. You can download sample MARC records here (in .mrc format).”

We separated our print from the e-records a few years ago by using an A-to-Z product (Ebsco’s) and importing records for our e-journal packages and subs without having them overlay on the print records.  I imagine it would be easier to import a batch of e-records (either from JSTOR – they must have MARC records available, right?) or from an A-to-Z product, and then just delete the print ones.   Good luck!

I have a two part problem/question. My institution recently began a JSTOR weed and due to previous decisions all of our links to JSTOR content was on print records. I have to find each individual record in OCLC and import it into Voyager and  create the holdings. Is there an easier way to do this? Has anyone else done a JSTOR weed and needed to bring in electronic records into their catalog?

 

Secondly, after we complete the JSTOR weed, our institution will begin an inventory. None of our journals are barcoded so I was wondering if anyone else has done an inventory on non-barcoded items. How easy or difficult was the process?

 

Any tips or suggestions on either the JSTOR weed or inventory would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
