Re: Checkout of more than 1 item on the same bibliographic record

[Doug Kariel <dougk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Jessica,

You should be able to get around this by ensuring that you have one item
record for each physical item.  If you have 2 volumes, each volume has
its own item record.  Similarly, each issue of a journal would have its
own item record.  Then you won't be trying to check out the same thing
twice.

I hope I've understood your question correctly.  Hope this works.

Is this the case, is it something we can change ourselves or has anyone found a way of identifying serial issues to the system.
