Hi Buddy et al,
Our library still claims issues. We do it on a monthly basis, as we have learned that many vendors/publishers want you to wait at least 30 days before initiating another claim.
We do not keep statistics per se of how often claimed, but we do have a fair idea of how much time is spent on this, and as you noted, can pull a review file easily if we need to.
We have also found that after three Inno/Millenium claims, it is best to email the publisher/vendor directly if we have not received the material.
Good luck! Lisa
