Hello Ann, For the libraries I set up, I use itemtypes rather than ccode. I make sure 942$c is turned on in the frameworks to catalogue ebooks, websites etc and choose the proper itemtype. There is also a system preference, i think, that i turn on that uses the biblios itemtype rather than the items itemtype to search.

We've not catalogued any websites but for documents we are using a collection code ED (electronic documents). Our approach is currently a bit inconsistent when it comes to items as sometimes we've attached them and sometimes we haven't, although we do also an item-type ED (E-version). When we have attached an item we've made up the barcode which can be any combination of letters and/or numbers, e.g. QLDmain0709.
I'll be interested in seeing any other responses to this question, and would also like to know what people do about link checking. I must admit I hadn't thought stocktaking as it's not something we've ever been required to do.
We are also currently on 3.2.
Regards, Dianna Roberts

Kia ora koutou
I'm wondering how people are cataloguing websites and other electronic resources so that they are able to be searched by collection codes. I have trolled the net looking for discussions but have not found anything pertinent yet. The nub of the problem is that if they don't have attached items you cannot enter item types and ccodes, however I don't want to assign barcodes. Are there hidden snags if you have items without barcodes? What happens at stocktake when you have no actual item to stocktake? Is there a better way to do this? I have used item types to assign borrower privileges and ccodes as search points and I am just about to move from 3.2 to 3.4.
