Was there any description in all this of how libraries with large number of
print subscriptions (who have eliminated check in) handle their mail.
Routing, marking for shelving, separating out samples, discards, title
changes, etc.

Do they check shelf, check a list?  If they check in selective titles --
how do they know.

Sorry if I just missed that part of information.
