MONOGRAPHS RECEIVED AS PART OF A SUBSCRIPTION

updated Oct. 10, 2001

 

If a monograph is received as part of a subscription or other continuation service, it should be received by the following criteria:

  1. Most of these publications are added on a per-title approval basis. All titles that come as part of a subscription or continuation service should be reviewed and selected for relevance.
  2. These titles should have a separate bibliographic and order record.
  3. These titles should have the actual vendor in the vendor ID (Ex: HEIN instead of GIFT), but should be received as a FIRM order and assigned to fund NOFUND.
  4. In a NOTE field, record that the publication was received gratis as part of a subscription or continuation service, and the name of the serial publication.
  5. Because the publication was already approved for selection, it does not need to be returned to the approval shelf. Once the order record is complete the item can go directly to cataloging.
