We are a public library with 20 branches.  We check in all other
periodicals, but we only check in newspapers at the Main library, where
we receive about 40 different papers, including some daily and some
weekly.  At the branches, where they generally only receive about 5
newspapers, they do not check them in.

All,

Does everyone check in daily newspapers or is it common practice to not
do so?  I recall people talking on this list about not checking in any
periodicals at all, but I would rather hear from someone who does check
things in but has made a decision to not check in certain titles due to
the daily chore.

Thanks!

Lilah
