Hello SERIALSTs,

Now that we're in a new fiscal year with a dramatically smaller binding budget, we're planning on keeping unbound print issues in the stacks in magazine holders (aka magazine files).


Can anyone recommend a reliable brand/vendor? Cardboard or plastic? Archival/acid-free? If you're using a similar system, how do you account for the great size diversity among journals when ordering your files? How do you record these holdings in your OPAC?


Any other advice/lessons learned from experience is greatly appreciated! I don't even know if I'm asking the right questions.


Thanks,

Sarah
