to remove non-Yale 856 links from Beinecke records was made by the Director (E.C.), with all of the curators unanimously agreeing.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">“I believe that linking to a generic e-version of a special collection item can do more harm than good. There are many places for students and scholars to find
an e-version if that is what they are seeking. Our catalog ought to describe our particular copy (albeit employing shared bibliographic standards), not an idealized version. Any links ought to be to a digital version of our copy. I’d even argue that when
we have multiple copies of a title, we should link the e-version to the item record rather than the bib record, but I know that will create its own set of confusions.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
