RE: Circulating Periodicals in Millenium/INNOPAC

["Hoyte, Daniel" <hoyte@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We create item records for our current periodicals.  The amount of time that it takes to create the item at checkin and then to delete it when sending out to the bindery is insignificant.

Subject: Circulating Periodicals in Millenium/INNOPAC

Hello!  We are a public library and we are reviewing our circulation practices re: periodicals.  Currently, we do not create item records for issues of periodicals that circulate.  This is not working well for us and we are considering the various ways that we can circulate periodical issues in Millenium.  Circ-on-the-fly is one option for us, though we feel it may create a significant amount of work.  Another option we're considering is creating a "dummy item record/records" per serial title...  In any case, there are the barcode issues...  How do other libraries handle the circulation of periodicals using Millenium or INNOPAC?  Thanks for sharing!  Kind regards, Eeva
