Hi Buddy,

We use the acquisitions control field in Horizon to indicate "not currently received, which is the status in our OPAC."   We also have the option of a public note that we're considering using to indicate that the subscription changed from print to electronic.

I have a followup to this question.  MFHD has a field for status
(currently received, not currently received, ceased, etc.), and many
systems that don't use MFHD also have fields that allow for this coding.

My question if you are using some sort of field for this information
(whether it is MFHD or not) in the checkin record, are you taking
advantage of that in your OPAC displays?

Mykie,

In addition to closing the holdings so that patrons can see what we own,
we do add a note stating "Law Library does not currently subscribe to
this title."

We are in a shared consortium of 3 libraries, so we state "Law Library"
so that patrons know that the cancellation applies to our library only.

Additionally, all of our alternate formats (electronic, microform) are
on separate MFHDs on the same bib (print) record, so the note does not
need to state the format.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Good luck,
Andrea

Hi,
I'm interested in hearing what phrases others use to let patrons know
that a title has been cancelled when they're searching in the OPAC.  One
example is "Cancelled for 2005."

Thanks,
Mykie
