Mark-
We don't have any automated system for serials.  Currently, we are only
allowed to send a couple of times a year, so it's a big project.  However,
before I started working here, we used to send a shipment off every week
or two.  When they checked in the last issue of a volume (what would be a
bound volume, not necessarily by the numbers on the issues) it would go on
a binding shelf.  Then, once a week the binding person would take those
single issues out to the shelves and pull the remainder of the volumes.
As I said, I wasn't here then, but my supervisor speeks longingly of the
days when it was so simple and easy.  I hope this helps.
