We upload a list of our currently received periodicals to A-to-Z quarterly. At this point, we include just the titles and the ISSN. We’ve thought about including holdings information, but due to the labor that would be required and the fact that users can just link back to the catalog record, we have not included the detailed holdings. We assign a note to the titles in our uploaded catalog data telling people that they can check the catalog for holdings information.

Subject: [SERIALST] including print holdings in journal A-Z list
Thanks very much to everyone who responded to my previous question about tracking usage of current serial issues. The responses were so helpful I thought I’d throw another question out to the list J
We have EBSCO A-Z, which currently lists online titles only. I was wondering if many libraries include print holdings in their A-Z lists, and if so, how often they update them?
Thanks.
