Yes, it is possible to change the holdings statements in SFX to match your subscriptions.  Once local threshold is edited, the global threshold no longer applies.  Example, the global threshold holdings may be $obj->parsedDate('>=','2001','undef','33'), but once these holdings are copy/pasted/edited into the local threshold box, the local holdings supercede the global.

Re item 1 below - How are you “resetting” your holdings?  Are you doing it in a different manner than described above?

I have no personal experience with SFX, so this may or may not work.  We use Serials Solutions.  If the access dates listed for a journal are different from our subscription, we can just change them.  Is it possible to do this in SFX?

Not sure this qualifies as experience, but our access dates of journals get reset also, with no notice to us or seemingly, rhyme or reason.  Frustrating!

Subject: [SERIALST] Some Questions and Help about SFX

Dear All,

We have some questions about SFX. If anyone has any experience about below mentioned issues it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Oya Arus

1. When we update SFX monthly, access dates of journals have been resetting. After each update processes, we have to rearrange the access dates.
2. When we search a journal with subtitle in "Starts with option" (for instance "Journal of polymer science. Part A-1, Polymer chemistry"), we could not reach the journal.
3. We would like to make a change (design...etc) in our periodicals main page. Is it possible to do this kind of changes?
