The periodicals module provides rapid and simple
management of journals:
-
Subscriptions records for each journal.
-
Receipt of issues.
-
Circulation of new issues.
-
Recording of the issues held for each
journal.
-
Printing of claims to be sent to suppliers.
-
Details for each journal subscription
are entered, a list of expected issues is generated
and the expected arrival date of each issue is calculated.
-
As each issue is received, it is accessioned
and may be circulated.
-
Any missing or overdue issues are displayed
and a claim may be printed automatically for the
supplier.
-
A circulation list is maintained for each
journal and may be printed automatically for circulating
newly arrived issues to users.
-
Each journal or each issue becomes part
of the main catalogue, if required. Thus subject
headings, notes and keywords can be assigned to
each journal, or to each issue of each journal,
thus increasing access through the Inquiry module.
In the latter case the linking facility in normal
cataloguing can then be used to associate catalogue
records for individual articles with the issue.
Suitability
This module is suitable for those who require additional
management of their periodical collection.
Benefits
Complete control of subscriptions, holdings and claims
is provided. Minimal time is required to process each
incoming issue.
