Subject: [SERIALST] Filing Print Journals Alphabetically
Greetings,
We order our print journals alphabetically word by word. I'm new enough to librarianship that I only recently discovered there was a term for it (http://www.ala.org/tools/libfactsheets/alalibraryfactsheet27).
When I first started working with serials I was taught to put the journal titles with acronyms at the beginning of the letter and never thought much about it until one of our staff working with students complained they couldn't find a journal (AETEI
Journal). I was then asked if we could reshelve them alphabetically "like people would think."
For those libraries who still own print journals and file alphabetically, do you file word by word (acronyms to the front) or letter by letter?
Thanks!
Bethany
