Using the SICI for checkin? Cindy Hepfer 20 Mar 1995 14:37 UTC

SERIALST subscribers,

I am trying to determine how many libraries are actively scanning the
Serial Item and Contribution Identifier (SICI) to check in current journal
issues. (The SICI is a barcode that is found on a number of scholarly
journal titles.)  If you are using the SICI for checkin, please write me at
the e-address listed below and tell me:
1) what automated checkin system you use
2) what percentage of your titles you are able to check in using the SICI
3) what kind of journal collection you have (science? medical? etc.)

I am planning to use the data I collect for a brief report for the next
issue of the Serials Industry Systems Advisory Committee's _SISAC Newsletter_.

Thank you,
