re: MilSer claims question

Hi Anne -

Do you have separate serial units for the various libraries on campus?  If
so, you should only be seeing your own claims in "claiming".  All you would
need to do is note which record in the range you ended with and then you
could start the next session from that number forward.

If you do have separate serial units and are seeing other libraries'
records in "claiming", that's an issue for the helpdesk!  :-)

We are doing all our serials work in Millennium, but have run into a
snag when we are doing claiming.  It works just fine, but we haven't
figured out how to stop a claim file part way through and resume it
(say, after lunch) at a specific point in the file.  The MilSer claim
options seem to be either to search for records within an existing
review file, which works just fine, or to search a range.  If we do the
range, we are potentially claiming things that belong to other libraries
on campus, which is not what we intend to do.

We CAN do this in the character-based system, and don't know if there is
something we're missing or if the functionality hasn't transferred over
yet.

We are running Release 2002 Phase 2.  I searched the manual for help but
wasn't able to find anything, but that doesn't mean it's not there :)

Thanks in advance for your help.
