Bibliographic Record Linking ties together related materials available in a variety of formats, such as print, online and CD. The links from one record to another record (or records, if there are multiple formats) appear in a gray-colored box in the MadCat record.

 

Example: When searching for The Journal of General Education, MadCat will display each format separately in the list of results. This particular journal is available in print and online (electronic resource):

Journal Title results

 

 

When viewing one of the two records, the Other Formats field will have a link to the other record (format):

Bib linking record

 

 

Note that when viewing the record for the electronic resource, click on Find It, as illustrated below:
