We go with one item record and barcode for each journal title.  The only time we create individual barcodes and items is for a couple of print only titles we keep on reserve to keep them from disappearing.

Subject: [SERIALST] Item records for individual serial pieces vs. entire journal runs

 

Hi All,

 

Does your library affix barcodes and create item records for every physical piece in your journals collection?  Or do you rather go with an item record for each separate journal title run?

 

I wonder about practices at other libraries, whether economy of labor or thoroughness generally wins out.

 

If you don't mind dropping me a line or sharing generally with the list here what your practices are, with any thoughts on the topic, please respond.

 

Thanks much.
