Subject: Re: bending the rules?? (Joy A. Kingsolver)

We have occasionally done this:  when one issue is ordered for
reserve or some other special purpose; or when one issue is ordered
that has a theme title.  Generally we do this for titles for which we
do not have current subscriptions; however, if the need arises, we
will do this even for issues of titles on subscription.  Generally,
we do local NOTIS records and would not input on OCLC.
