Replace the print ISBN with the e-ISBN. Add the ISBN for the print version in a second 020 in ‡z if the publisher has included the print ISBN on the e-monograph. If it is unclear whether the ISBN applies to the e-version or the print-version, enter the ISBN in ‡a. The following example is from a vendor-supplied record derived from OCLC. The vendor stripped off the 13-digit ISBN but retained the qualifier for the 10 digit number; the retention of the form qualifier should be sufficient verification that the number should be entered in 020 ‡a.
