Sorry, 455 print only In the 17k ejournals not sure without running a report how many are print plus online. These claims include claiming up to three times for the same issue.

Ebsco handles almost all of our subscriptions except those that we have a separate arrangement with or the publisher does not allow aggregator sales. For example, Elsevier Science Direct is purchased under its on purchase order/contract agreement. Proquest and Safari titles are purchased through FEDLINK..

Right now I spend at least a day going through them. However, I want to talk to Dynix about having Horizon automatically predicting the next claim after so many days, rather than clicking them one by one myself. If we can do that, all I'd have to do is generate the report. We also have the claims over three report, which takes about half a day to go through and then another half a day to make changes to the catalog according to Audrey's responses. I'd say we receive most of our claims, probably 90%. However, I don't have any stats on this. If we didn't claim, then we'd never get any missing issues. I think that would cause some complaint from our users. With the move towards digitalization, our print numbers will start declining, and so the time spent on claiming will also decrease. I see no advantage to NOT claiming." We claim all missing journals since we pay for them. If we cannot get a journal that has been claimed, the publisher extends our subscription period. Hope you find this information helpful.

What criteria did you use in generating these lists? Who participated in the decision? How much time do you think (know) it is saving - any figures on number of unfilled claims/serial specials before using the lists and after? How much FTE you are saving? Any information in this area would be appreciated. A quick literature search did not yield much.
