One method is to tag the electronic journals in some way where they 
can be selected and exported to an external database on a regular 
basis. Depending on the ILMS you might give them a a unique gmd or 
subject heading extension (eg - electronic journal)

Another way, if the ILMS provides static and repeatable URLs to 
specific items (Innopac does for instance), would be to create a 
separate database which links to the bibliographical record in a 
separate frame. That way all the information which does not fit 
comfortably in the rigidity of a MARC record can be maintained 
outside the ILMS and all the bibliographical information maintained 
within the ILMS.
