Subject: HORIZON Serials Module Survey

THIS SURVEY HAS BEEN CROSS POSTED TO NASIG-L, SERIALST, AND HORIZON-L.

Dear Fellow HORIZON System users:

The following survey has grown out of my interest in questions of about the
level(s) of staffing other HORIZON libraries are using to perform check-in
and claims using the Serials Module.  I hope you will take time to respond.

Thank you in advance,

Philenese Slaughter
