Re: Standing orders

Dee:  Our standing order records are attached to a series bib. whether it is
fully cataloged or just a short form.  The payments can be made on this
order record.  You could choose to suppress this bib. or maintain the
library has statement as the new editions come in.  Also, you will have to
be sure to include the 440/490 series title so they can be cross referenced
from the series bib.
