At my previous institution (the University of Nevada, Reno) we discontinued the routine claiming of print issues altogether. Our rationale for that decision was laid out in
this article from 2003:

sorry!)
I left UNR in 2007. In 2011, the librarians overseeing serials processing in that library wrote a follow-up analysis in which they concluded that “despite some minor negative
impact,” on balance the benefits of this decision had outweighed the costs:

Hopefully these articles are helpful.

We are also looking into our claiming process for periodicals and would be quite interested to hear from
those who do not claim and the reasons why not.
Many thanks!

Hi Chris,
We also claim print periodicals although it can be a frustrating process. Most of our titles
come through EBSCO which offers online claiming capability but sometimes requires intervention by our customer service rep. We run claims monthly in Sierra, review them to see if the publication is behind or if the publication schedule may have changed, then
claim them in EBSCOnet. We do it monthly because some publishers have a small window for claims. After claiming twice in EBSCOnet without result I will email our rep. I would guess our success rate for claims runs around 75%.
Hope this helps.

Good Morning,
We are in the process of reviewing our claiming procedures and wanted to check-in with other libraries to see what folks were doing.
Basically, is your library claiming print periodicals, and if yes, how so?
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Best,
Chris
