We check in our weekly newspapers and they show on the online catalogue. Daily papers, we check in on a grid and keep  behind the circulation desk.

Sure.  We’re on Voyager, and have the check-ins display in the catalogue.

Subject: [SERIALST] Public display for newspapers

I’m currently analyzing the best way to display our holdings for the newspapers.  For example, Austin American-Statesman, Dallas Morning News, The Los Angeles Times, etc.  The person supervising this area would like for our patrons to have access to our exact holdings.  We can provide a link that will take them to our check-in boxes.  All we provide right now is this:  (10/01/2011-Current) Some scattered issues may be missing.  I should also mention that we keep most of our newspapers behind a desk.  Only the most current issue is on display.  Neither of us is a cataloger.  Although I don’t really see a problem with this idea, I have not found a library that gives the patron this much information.

Does anyone provide exact holdings for newspapers?
