We encoded them ourselves as a very inelegant hack to get around an Athens authentication/redirect problem when we first started adding e-book links to the catalogue. We quickly found a better way of doing it, but there are still c.200 early records with the unnecessary encryption. They didn’t cause a problem until we started using Talis Aspire and EBSCO Discovery Service, and the quality of our MARC records suddenly became more important! We should get them fixed ‘at source’ this week.

Did they arrive that way in the MARCs?
