New Years "Catalog" Resolutions
So, for my New Years Catalog Resolution I've decided to take the time and work on cleaning up records. Starting with Serials - not Captain Crunch unfortunately. We, like many other libraries, only keep issues on the shelf for a certain period of time i.e. 6 months, 2 years, etc. So, by using Director Station and the System I'm going to make a point of cleaning up any records that need not stay in the System. This was an issue has been brought to the Cataloging Executive Committee on our last meeting and I thought I'd share it on the blog. If anyone has any questions feel free to contact myself or anyone on the Committee. Have a great New Year!

That's a great New Years Resolution.
When you are cleaning out the serials, you can just Delete them. Don't check them out the Discard User. The only items that should be checked out to the Discard User are monographic items.
This will make running the Reports to delete the items in the Discard User easier for me.
Let us know if you have questions.
Thanks Jane
