- From: "Diane M. Ranney" <dranney@xxxxxxxxxx>
- Subject: Circulation of periodicals
Our network, CLAMS(34 locations, 29 libraries, including one academic) made
a decision when we migrated to III that individual issues of periodicals
which were circulated should be attached to a bib record. This decision not
only makes it easier to track overdues, but also makes the items searchable
and requestable. We have found that most libraries in the consortium which
wish to circulate their periodicals do not have a problem with this "rule".
We do NOT encourage on-the-fly usage as this was a nightmare to clean-up
when we migrated from DRA.
