SCF has instructions for citing records in online catalogs at the bottom of
this page:
http://rbms.info/scf/working-principles/

Here is the model I want to follow:
510 4_ $a English short title catalogue, $c entry R202726 $u
http://estc.bl.uk/R202726

Here is the record I want to cite:
http://explore.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/dlDisplay.do?vid=BLVU1&afterPDS=true&institution=BL&docId=BLL01004839781

Is the name of the catalog "Explore the British Library"?? Or maybe it's
"Main catalogue"??

510 4_ $a Explore the British Library, $c entry 004839781
vs.
510 4_ $a British Library. Main catalogue, $c entry 004839781

I took the 510 $c from the MARC 001 field, called the "Identifier" in the
public display.

I'd like to add a 510 $u as well but the URL for the record is so long and
ugly. Is there an easy way to construct "Permalinks" for records in this
catalog?

I'm not really familiar with Primo discovery layers ...

Thanks,

Manon
