 Subject: Serials Check-in

          You may have to think about the binding process and its link to
          check in.  Try to keep Serials check in with binding too, since
          binding involves alteration of records.  This aspect is
          sometimes forgotten.  For ex: In any check in system one has to
          change the receipt information after the volume is bound.

          At our library, we have all aspects of serials (except
          cataloging) in the Serials Acquisitions Section.
          This arrangement has worked well so far.  We are also
          anticipating changes due to reorganization (we are part of
          Technical Services).  We will also be looking at efficient
          ways to handle serials.
