We barcode each bound volume and have a “current issues” barcode for each title we’re still getting that we use for all loose issues. We only create an item
record for bound volumes or random loose issues that were going out in the stacks, not for every loose issue.

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.
