We had the good fortune to have a Pennsylvania Union List of Serials Project in the early 80s that put all our data in for us. So it’s been relatively easy
to keep up.

Subject: Re: [SERIALST] LHRs
Christina is right that LHRs make ILL people happy. But ours were never consistently maintained to begin with and are therefore misleading at best, and I’m also not convinced that it makes good sense to do such double-work just for the
sake of ILL. We already have too many places where we are either cleaning up or doing double-work and as much as I think ILL is important, I am not sure it justifies us doing so much extra. ILL would like us to continue to do serials check-in, for example,
but we stopped doing that at my direction some years ago for similar reasons.
Now I’ll go sit in my corner and prepare to duck the various objects that ILL people may wish to throw at me.
