We have always gone with the practice of assigning a barcode to every physical item in our journal collection.  Easier to keep track of (i.e. Inventory and Faculty Check-Out)

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.
