I’ve heard a lot of people use the justification that  “publishers don’t respond to claims anyway”, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find that claims get a response a lot of the time from EBSCO.  Claiming is worthwhile for us.

No way.  Journals are way too expensive and that would be bad stewardship of our money.  I’ve had a lot of problems with Ebsco ordering three years but the publisher only taking one year.  They either send us three copies or they stop after a year.  I’d never know if I wasn’t claiming regularly.

As a spin-off of sorts to the recent thread on Serials Assistant duties, I would be curious to hear from any libraries that have decided to cease the practice of claiming serials and the reasoning behind your decision and how it has gone for you. 

 

Feel free to reply here or contact me directly.

 

Thanks much.

 

Chris
