We have a binder full of barcodes and each barcode corresponds to the title of a periodical.  In the catalog the item record is “current issues” for that barcode.  We track use of current issues by scanning these barcodes any time a title is used.  So if someone used five issues of Time, we would scan the current issue barcode five times.

Subject: [SERIALST] Usage statistics for current issues on open shelves

 

I have been asked to gather usage statistics for current unbound issues which are on open shelves.  Does anyone have any good ideas for how this might be done?  We still have around 800 titles that have current issues in print.
