When we get serials that have stopped publication and go online only, we make a public note of it in the serials’ record. A link is included to where the online material can be found. All forms of the serial title are shown in public view of the record under a serial title.

What are you all doing when you have paper serials that turn into online serials -- but you keep the paper back issues?

This is a common scenario:

1. We have a paper serial title.
2. The paper serial is still being published, and we keep the back issues.
3. It is decided for whatever reason that our library will go with the same title in some database or electronic journal package ... which we put in our A-Z list ... and we stop getting the paper serial.

Do you make any notation in your paper record to direct users over to the A-Z list?

Thanks for your help!

Best wishes,
Julie Moore
