Series Checks in Voyager
Training Script

Searching to see if we have a series, serial or bookset on standing order involves both the Cataloging and Acquisitions modules. You must have both modules open and logged on using the same Operator ID.

Let's start with the simplest case, a search for a serial volume.

Let's say that the title in question is the 1999-2000 annual report of the National Library of Wales.

In Cataloging, do a Journal title search on Annual report. The Journal title matches on title fields 245 and 246, but not on series titles in the 400's and 800's.

Since there are lots of annual reports in the system, you could also try an author headings search on National Library of Wales.

Once you have the matching bib record, bring up the holdings record to see if the volume in question has been added.

If the volume in question has been added, you would treat it as a Have and note down the Bib ID # and the location. In this case, however, the last volume added was 1998-99. We need to check for a standing order.

Click on Record menu>View line items in Acquisitions.

If there is one line item attached, it will pop up as a tabbed Detail Line Item display in Acquisitions. This display has a link to the purchase order.

A serial single order or a bookset single volume order will have the order type Firm order. Receipt status will be seen from the color of the line and the purchase order status in the title bar. Check the vendor instructions for the issue(s) ordered. A standing order will have the order type Continuation. To check for receipt status, you have to go to the serials history display.

In this case we are looking at a continuation order, so we will need to look at the Serials History display. Click on the Check-in tab on the list bar. Then, click on the Serials history icon. Do a Check-in title search. If there is a match, double-click the line to bring up the serials receipt, claim and problem history.

If there is not a match, try the Other search option, which allows you to do any type of bibliographic search; or, try an issn search. If you still cannot bring up a record, there is no component attached to the order, meaning we have not received any volumes against the order. In this case, we have not received any volumes on Voyager, so we do not yet have the volume in question.
