Quite a number of years ago, a staff member entered our serials holdings
into  Word Perfect files.  Every year before school starts, we go in the
update the changes which have been entered in red ink in 2 of the
departmental copies.  There are other copies up in the lobby near the
computers and in our reading room.  It was very labor-intensive to begin
with, but not so bad to update it every year.  Last summer, we added
notations for full text for the journals we have that are FT from
EbscoHost.  We will do Proquest this summer.  We just don't worry about
listing the ones offered on full-text that we never got.  This has been
useful, because we dropped a few which were not used a lot in favor of
full-text.  So when someone complains, we point them to EbscoHost.  It's
easier to look in a notebook than to log onto the online catalog just to
see if we have a certain title.  We bind some of them in red buckrum or
put them in bright red plastic binders.  So they are unofficially called
"The Red Book."  Hope this helps.
