We do include print and microform titles in our A-Z list. The entry on
the list does not actually show the holdings, but instead links to the
catalog, where the holdings are kept up to date. The entry says we have
the title
"in
duPont Library's Print and Microform Collections Click to view
which issues the library has on hand."
I have been updating the print titles about twice a year. This is not
really "good enough" but every time I have extracted a file
from the catalog for this, it has been extremely time-consuming to
resolve all of the duplicates and errors. I have been tweaking the
process each time to try to streamline it. I finally got it where I
thought I could simply extract the records updated since the last time I
did it, and manually edit them instead of replacing the entire file. Then
we migrated to a new catalog and the dates all got reset in all of the
records and I had to start over. So maybe that method will work
this next time.

Thanks very much to everyone who
responded to my previous question about tracking usage of current serial
issues. The responses were so helpful I thought I�d throw another
question out to the list J
We have EBSCO A-Z, which currently lists online titles only. I was
wondering if many libraries include print holdings in their A-Z lists,
and if so, how often they update them?
Thanks.
