Examples

A series record needs to be maintained in Unicorn so Acquisitions and Serials can order, record, and claim titles in that series. The following guidelines outline the process necessary to perform maintenance on older titles and create new series records for Acquisitions’ use.

An analyzed series that is classed together will have a serial title record available in Unicorn and Socrates.

An analyzed series that is not classed together will have a serial record available in Unicorn, but shadowed in Socrates.

Acquisitions will:

  • Give Cataloging a printout of an existing Unicorn series record or series title information for a new record for all series titles

Cataloging will:

  • Make the decision on cataloging each title separately, and classing the series together or assigning individual call numbers to each title
  • Perform catalog maintenance or download new serial records for the series title
  • Perform catalog maintenance or download new record for the individual titles
    1. Create item record for location, circ status, and, if applicable, series call number
    2. Shadow the copy if necessary
    3. Update MARC holdings to reflect the current cataloging/classification policy. If available, record the Library of Congress Name Authority File number
  • Return series record to Acquisitions

Acquisitions will:

  • Create necessary orders:
    1. Series classed together: create a standing order
    2. Series classed separately: create a standing order on the shadowed record; make a note in the Extended Information field that firm orders are attached to individual title bibliographic records. For each individual title bibliographic record, create a firm order with payment information and add COMMENT in item record that the title was received on a standing order for the series
  • Add/maintain acquisition records for standing orders
  • Send the series to Serials to create a serials control record and check to make sure individual titles are checked in

Serials will:

  • Create a serials control record, following the series templates
