Since our Serials Department unit downsized about 60% in 2009-10, we have stopped checking in and stopped claiming print issues.

Now, I only claim when a patron notifies us that they want an issue that we don’t have. That doesn’t happen very often.

 

When I used to claim regularly, I used EBSCOnet. (About 80% of our subscriptions are through EBSCO.)

I really had no idea that people still mailed in claims via the USPS.

Do many libraries still do this?

We use Swets for all of our print journals (most of our collection is electronic now) and submit claims through their website.
