We have the same problem for current issues displaying in OPAC. The long
list of checking in current issues really annoying. If anybody knows how
to set up the limitation of displaying current issues, please let us
know. Thanks.

Hi Melissa.
I don't know of a way to have Voyager automatically display only a
certain number of recent issues in OPAC without doing it manually.

We keep all our "recent issues" viewable until it becomes time to pull
them and have them bound. Then, we remove the issues from "recent
issues" to "sent to bindery, available --/--/--"

This way our patrons know what is on the shelf.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to have Voyager automatically
display a certain number of recently received issues in opac.

Currently, we have to make issues display or not display in opac during
check-in, each time.  I know several journals haven't been "undisplayed"
in a while, creating a long list of recent issues when the patron looks
in the catalog.  Is there a way that we can set Voyager to automatically
only display about 5 recent issues at a time, without having to change
it  manually?  (Even being able to set this up title by title would be
helpful, as it would only have to be done one more time for each title.)

No one here knows how to do this, and they're all doubtful that it's
even possible.  So, I thought I'd ask the list.  You never know...

Thanks,
Melissa
