I would like to recommend you take advantage of some of the serials
classes offered through OCLC. I took the Serials Cataloging course in
Seattle and felt it more than worth my while to attend.  OCLC has also
offered classes in Union listing that was also excellent.

Best of luck in the position.
Congrats on graduating from Library School.
