Voyager Access Reports for Serials Catalogers
Thursday, May 7, 2015 at 3:30 PM–4:15 PM CDT
Birch Lake
Description
Reporting of serials and multi-part items can present unique challenges due to serials-specific bibliographic MARC tags, textual or coded holding statements in MFHDs, and display of recent issues via Serials/Acquisitions rather than Cataloging. This presentation will introduce commonly used tables and describe queries to evaluate serials and multi-part titles in Voyager Access Reports, such as the extraction of publication dates, ISSNs, and preceding/succeeding entries; 86X summary holdings; shelving titles and other MFHD notes; recent issue display status in the OPAC; and item enumeration and chronology. Both bib and MFHD blob queries will be discussed.
