Subject: Pulling print issues when microfiche arrives...

Hi all,

I had a question about pulling the print issues of serials when you get the
microfiche in.  We currently get several titles in print and then retain
them on microfiche.  Our current procedure is to pull the print issues when
the microfiche arrives.  This seems to cause problems because sometimes the
microfiche comes so quickly we don't have the print issues out very long.  I
would like to set up a system where the print issues would be retained for a
longer period of time.  I was thinking about retaining the current volume or
current 2 volumes in print (and pulling the old volume when the first issues
of a new volume arrives), but this would mean I would have to check our
microfiche checkin records to make sure we did get the microfiche before
discarding the print.  Anyone have any other ideas on how to make this
process work?
