What types of full-text information are linked to in the MARC records?

Scientific and technical information (STI) is available in multiple formats.  It can be textual, multimedia, or datasets.  Most of the textual items are PDF files and include record types such as journal accepted manuscripts, technical reports, conference papers, etc.  Multimedia files include both audio and video files.  Links to datasets connect to landing pages where the data files may be accessed and information about the data files obtained.
