Thanks Helen. I don't see that having it lower in the check-in record 
helps, though with a complicated subscription from several vendors it 
could.  And if it could be automatically inserted with a record load such 
as from Serials Solutions of course that would be great. For us it does 
raise another issue- the 856 in the bib is maintained by the cataloging 
department while the check-in record is maintained by serials.

What the public services librarians wish is we could get the hot-link in 
the holdings line that shows above the check in records. (See the same 
Callaloo journal title search in our catalog at http://simon.ups.edu ) 
These are 866 lines from the bib, holdovers from the days we printed a 
periodicals directory from that data.
