Greetings from cloudy New England!

We have broad categories for periodicals, e-journals, monographs, e-text
(electronic books), and electronic media.  Funds have numbers attached
via our ILS based on the college's accounting system.  Here are examples
of each of our internal fund codes:

Print periodicals:

Newsweek (print) P-GEN (periodicals General fund)

Physics Today (print) P-PHY (Physics Periodicals)

Electronic journals:

JSTOR (P-ELT) Electronic Journals (since JSTOR is multidisciplinary)

American Chemical Society Web Editions P-CHE (since this is exclusive to
Chemistry)

Print Books:

A Short History of Nearly Everything (M-GEN) general monograph; no
specific category

Mirrors in the brain: how our minds share actions and emotions (M-NEU)
Neuroscience book

Electronic books:

Our E-brary subscription would be M-ELT or electronic books/texts

Electronic Media:

Naxos Music Library; ARTSTOR

Hope this helps!  Please contact me with questions.

Subject: [SERIALST] Allocations and fund structure

Aloha,

At the University of Hawaii at Manoa, we're interested in restucturing
our
selection funds. Would you help me out by answering a couple of
questions?

--What kind of scheme do you use to organize your funds (alpha only,
alpha/numeric, slector names etc)?

--What works, what doesn't (a quick summary is enough)?

Thank you so much for your time and energy to help me with this project!
