Re: Seeking sources of information for periodicals -- list of issues published by year Skwor, Jeanette 25 Jul 2008 17:14 UTC

I was thinking about accuracy also.

If you use a list of published issues that you find somewhere, you will still need to compare that to what's on the shelf if you want a correct display of your holdings.

This might be a good "switch" for a student otherwise working at checking online access :-)

WE look it up on our OPAC and we also keep a card catalogue. These are not as accurate as actually looking at the journals though.

Good afternoon all,

I am in the beginning stages of an inventory of the periodical collection in
the company library I manage.  I would like to create detailed records of
our holdings, including volume and issue numbers for each serial.  I know
that I could find this out by looking directly in each issue, but is there
somewhere else that I might find this information? Here is what I would
really like: a list by year of issues published for each periodical title I
have, including the corresponding volume and/or issue number for each item.
Is there anywhere where this information is gathered? I would so love it if
there was, but I am not too hopeful.

Thanks in advance,

Yours truly,
Melinda J. Shedlarz
