I was wondering if there are any libraries out there that currently do not check in their serials issues. If so,

How is it going?
How did you communicate this decision to the library and your patrons?
What workflows did you need to adjust to make it successful?
Is there anything you would do differently?

Or, if there are any libraries that did this for a period, and returned to checking in, what made you change your decision?

We are looking at a very big backlog whenever it is that we come back, and we’re trying to think of any solutions that might help us to either expedite processing it.

Thanks!
