Subject: Newspaper check in

  I am curious to find out how other libraries handle newspaper check-in.
Our newspapers are currently checked in manually on a printed out
spreadsheet form with the title and date. We are currently working on
computerizing our serial records and check-ins (changing from manual
check-in using Kardex) and trying to decide whether or not to computerize
newspaper check-in. So, for anyone that checks in newspapers on computer:

Does anyone check-in daily newspapers on the computer and add the records or
holdings to their catalogs?

Do the patrons like this system?

  Thanks for your help in advance!
