Hi-

We have TLC also and are really happy with the system.  The serials module
is not perfect- for example I have trouble with a biweekly newspaper that is
irregular.  But, you always have the option of manual entry for weird
issues.  Also, you could check the combining issues if you always know that
certain months will always be combined.  For this process you use edit-types
of issues and then click on the regularity pattern to select each month
individually.  There is a button to combine issues which you can select
after listing the different issues.  I don't know if you had the training on
TLC but it was really helpful for the most part- for us.  Also, the serials
person at the help desk is very patient- if none of this works.

Hi all!

we have a new serials system that I'm trying to learn/set up from TLC -
anyone else have it?

How do you check in Macleans issue 112:52 1999/113:1 2000?

I've tried to do it with slashes but the system doesn't like it!
