Hi, I have also addressed this problem as Galen has suggested. For the purpose of indexing, convert the non text format documents to text format and provide link to the original document format for keeping the look and feel of the document. Hence a document will have only one bibliographic entry but links can be given to different formats through a repeatable field such as 856. -Anuradha

Of course, one way would be to henerate several bibliographic records for one book (i.e. one bibliographic record for each format), but I'm pretty sure this is poor design, not easy to maintain...
Creating a MARC bibs for each format is actually done at some libraries, but it does have obvious problems.
So, if someone has suggestions about how to solve this, I'd be grateful if he/she could let me know.
The 856 (URL) field is a repeatable field in MARC21, so you can have a single bib record for each title that links to all of the formats.
