In our library we have both Standing Orders and Periodicals, each on a
different system, each under the control of a different librarian (the
former in Acquisitions and the latter in Periodicals/Technical Services).

I would be interested in any experience in doing or deciding not to do this.

I am also interested, for those of you who do it this way, what definitions
you have decided to use to decide which subscriptions (new) go where, i.e.
do items published on an irregular basis go one place, those coming out
less frequently than a certain time period go one place.

Thanks.
