Hello,

We also are a university library and it works for us too. Does anybody know
if it is possible to include subject headings in Library Specific Holdings
databases?(titles not included in the Knowledge base). That would be very
useful.

Thank you!

Asunto: Re: [SERIALST] Subject Listing in Serials Solutions 360 Core - HILCC
Reclassification [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

Hi,

I use the Subject List of course we are not a special library we are
academic and it works for us - The problem I have is that there are
titles with no subject headings - I know SS is trying to work on this
