On the subject of important information being prematurely tossed out
with
packaging material when opening mail, for that very reason at DU Penrose
Library we keep all envelopes, boxes, inserts, etc. with the issues
until
they are actually checked in.  This has saved us many times when we
realized
we needed information from a label or discovered that a significant
change
was being announced on an insert or attachment that didn't look
important at
first.

I'd be interested in hearing from other serials staff as to how they
manage
this problem (opportunity?).
