Re: What do libraries do with an index received from a publisher for a specific journal Skwor, Jeanette 07 Dec 2004 17:31 UTC

We also bind with, those that we bind.  For others, we keep a small
(2")Princeton-type file labeled "PERIODICAL/INDEX" at the end of the row
of loose issues and put the indexes in that.

Usually we bind them with the volume to which they refer, or tip them in
if the volume has already been bound. In the past some of them were
catalogued and shelved in the reference section, although it always
seemed to me that the most logical place for them is in the periodicals
stacks alongside the journal itself.

Our library, from time to time, receives an index for a particular journal.
We are not quite sure of the best way to make this available to our
patrons simply because we hardly ever deviate from our traditional indexes.
However, these specific indexes, sucha as, New Scientist, can be useful.
Any suggestions on how to keep these indexes active and used in our library
would be appreciated.

Thank you!
