Here at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center Library we have our SERIALS list on
a SPIRES database (just like HEP) and we keep track of routing, subscriptions
and holdings.  With Formats we get output in the form of lists of titles and
holdings, subscription details with expiration dates and who is on the
routing list for what.  We do not checkin with this database, have been
toying with the idea, but did not have the time and manpower to develop it.
Let me know if you have some questions about it.
