We still check in everything --
except newspapers. We have about 300 print titles at this
point.
We are investigating a procedure
where only critical (e.g. costly and/or not available through any on-line
resource) will trigger claims.
It’s possible that, from there,
we’ll move to checking in only those critical titles – but we have not discussed
that yet.

Subject: Re: [SERIALST]
Cessation of serials check in and claiming
We still do check-in and claiming
at our library. We are slated to receive about 770 print periodical
subscriptions this calendar year. We process a number of claims each
month.
For us, I don’t think we should
stop check-in and claiming in the current environment. It would be a disservice
to our patrons. We still have print journals with no online equivalent, or
if there is online, it’s either too expensive or lacks perpetual access
rights.
Also there are art journals whose
online counterparts are missing some content because of copyright issues.
It’s not good for the patrons if they access the online journal, find blank
squares where the referenced artwork should be, and our print copy either never
arrived or was stolen. (If check-in and claiming goes away, replacing
missing issues will also probably go by the wayside). The ILL copy will be
in black-and-white and not as usable as the original
print.
In the future as we transition to
more online content and cancel more print titles, and as more publishers become
cooperative with their online content, it might be feasible to forgo check-in
and claiming. But I’m guessing this will take at least a couple
years.
Sincerely,

Subject: [SERIALST] Cessation of serials check
in and claiming
Good morning all,
I know that this is an issue that has probably come up in the past, but I am
interested in how many of you have stopped checking in and claiming print
journals. I work in a corporate library with less than 100 print
subscriptions, and we are are considering stopping both of these
processes. It seems that the time spent doing these processes might
outweigh any benefit they bring.
Thanks in advance,
