Hello all.
I am still fairly new to Serials (6 months) and my director
has come up with an idea of inter-filing the print periodicals with our main
collection. They would still be non-circulating, but he feels that
inter-filing them will increase usage because they will be more browseable.
What are the philosophical thoughts on having this set-up?
Pros and Cons? Has anyone made this change and what did you learn?
Did it increase usage of the periodicals? What would you have done
differently? What timeline did you have? (He wants this done this
summer, which seems unrealistic at best).
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. You can contact
me off-list if you wish and I can compile a summary for the list.
Thanks so much!
Nancy
