Thanks for the thorough response, Kennedy.

Diana, here is Kristi's response:

" We also have an en excel file that we print out that is stuck on the side of the shelves so if they want to take a look to see where it's located they can do it with out a computer or a librarian. This has a list of all of the physical titles, electronic access, issue, ect. It's also helpful for staff too!"

I didn’t see her post. Was it just a list of titles? Did she keep it at the desk, or post it somewhere in the stacks? Does sound like a good idea.

Yes, I suspect we'd still have confusion either way.

 

I like the suggestion from Kristi of having a list available.

We do the same here and, yes, we have the same issues of confusion but I wonder if it would be the same no matter which way they were filed.

Subject: [SERIALST] Words like the, of, and for in titles

 

Hello,

 

How does everyone handle words like the, of, and for when shelving journals?

 

When a journal starts with "the," we ignore that.  When the words "the," "of," or "for" appear within a title, they are considered for shelving purposes.

 

Still, people struggle to find some journals like Journal of Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing which comes after Journal of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association.

 

I was curious if there was a best practice.

 

Thanks,
