RE: routing handling

["Pidgeon, Alice" <apidgeon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

That is precisely what we do.  All our unbound journals are barcoded so that
we can easily charge them out to students (in library use) and professors
(routed to their offices).  We only use the routing function for staff
within the library.  When journals are checked in they get a note attached
"Charge out to Prof.Blake" and it goes to the Circulation Dept.  When the
issues are bound, we do need to remove the old item records. 

Hope this helps.

We need some help from the community and any input will be appreciated.

How is your library handling routing?  In our library, we rout journals to
faculty and staff members, but we can not track them where they are. This
creates problem for us in binding because the routing issues may be not
returned in time or we do not know where they are in routing. Do you have
any solutions or what is your solution?  We are thinking about checking out
those routing journals to the faculty members we are routing to. Is this a
good idea?
