Re: Software to keep track of magazine collection

I haven't tried it yet, but EBSCO has a free tracker. I'm planning to use it though--because we use SIRSI Dynix to check in periodicals and they don't have a good module for keeping track of issues not received when expected, so that when I realize I've missed an issue it may be too late to claim it.
Best regards,

Subject: [SERIALST] Software to keep track of magazine collection
Hello,
I have a question regarding serial collections. I manage a small library at
a local company and I am looking for a software program that would allow me
to keep track of our serial collection. What I am interested in is keeping
track of all the issues received, the dates we received them, the price we
paid for the subscription, when the subscription started and stopped, etc.
Is there any free or cheap programs that would serve this purpose. I have
such a small budget I can't afford an expense program. If anyone has any
assistance they can offer about this type of issue I would be very indebted.
Regards,
Melinda J. Shedlarz
