Re: III and Serials solutions Lila Ohler 23 Apr 2008 18:33 UTC
When I worked for a Sirsi library, we encountered the same problem and used the same solution. We started attaching our e-subscription orders to a permanent brief bib suppressed from the public Opac when we realized that attaching them to the temporary Serial Solutions Marc records meant we could lose the order history if that Serial Solutions record was overlaid or removed in a subsequent load.

The marc records are loaded once per month and enable us to have a link from the check in record to the electronic full text. When ordering a journal directly from the publisher, I create a brief bib and attach an order record to that bib. When the marc record is loaded it does not overlay the brief bib, but creates a new full bib record with check in record. The brief bib and order record remain in III and the public sees the serial on order as well as fully cataloged with the link. I am wondering how other libraries handle this. Do you delete the brief bib and move the order record to the full bib or do you just suppress the brief bib and order from public view. We recently had an issue where all the Serials Solutions marc records were deleted from the catalog so we lost a lot of order history and I do not want that to happen a second time. I appreciate any input on this situation, please contact me off list. Thank you for your help with this.
