51. 51 Serials Publication Prediction Patterns In order for the system to generate serial issue records automatically, the system requires two types of information: Internal subscription record Publication prediction pattern This allows the system to open item records for expected issues. In ALEPH, every copy of every issue of a serial must have an item record to enable check-in, claiming, and circulation activities. Prediction patterns can be stored in either the holdings or administrative record. For great flexibility (and higher MARC compliance) it is recommended that the prediction pattern be stored in the holdings record.

52. 52 Serials Publication Predication Patterns Publication pattern fields can be created or updated in two different ways: Using the Catalog Editor: Publication pattern fields can be entered in the holdings (or ADM) records by creating or retrieving a holdings record and adding 853, 853x, 854, and 854x fields. Templates can be used to aid in creating the information. Using Serials Input Forms: Publication pattern fields may also be entered in the holdings (or ADM) records from within the serials tab of the navigation pane within either the Control or Subscription nodes. Both methods are compatible with each other, and can be used inter- changeably. In this session, we will be using Serials Input Forms.

53. 53 Serials Create a publication prediction pattern First open the internal subscription record using any of the methods discussed in the previous section (Serial Bar, Order Bar, Order List or Searching the catalog). Once you’ve located a record, click on the Patterns node under either the Control or Subscription roots.

54. 54 Serials Create Publication Prediction Pattern In the upper pane, click, which will activate the Pattern tab (tab 3) in the lower pane.

55. 55 Serials Create Publication Prediction Pattern At a minimum, complete the following fields: Frequency, Cal. Change, Enum-A (Caption, units, and Cont.), Enum-B (Caption, Units, and Cont), Chron-I, Chron-J and Regularity.

56. 56 Serials Creating Publication Prediction Pattern Alternatively, you can populate the fields by clicking and choosing from the list of templates.

57. 57 Serials Create Publication Prediction Pattern Highlight the desired template in the upper pane of the Choose Pattern Template File window and click to populate the pattern tab with default values that you may wish to edit before saving.

58. 58 Serials Creating Publication Prediction Pattern When you have finished editing the record, click ; this adds the 85x field to the appropriate holdings record and displays it in the patterns tab in the upper pane.

59. 59 Serials Create Publication Prediction Pattern Click on the Level-X (2nd) tab in the upper pane and click to activate the Level-X (4th) tab in the lower pane.

60. 60 Serials Create Publication Prediction Pattern The Level-X field contains enumeration and chronology information for the next volume or cycle that will be opened. As with completing the pattern tab, you may either complete the same minimum fields or use the template feature. Additionally, you will want to define the Start Date. When you’ve finished editing, click.

61. 61 Serials Publication Prediction Pattern Details You can view the details of the issue item records that will be generated by clicking on the Expected Schedule tab (5th) in the lower pane. A preview of the next cycle to be opened is displayed. If this information is incorrect or otherwise in need of further modification, click on the pattern tab and make corrections.

62. 62 Serials Publication Prediction Pattern Details Clicking creates an item record for each issue of the volume. When item records are created, the system automatically updates the 85xX field for the next cycle.

63. 63 Serials Items Window Selecting the Items node under the Subscription root in the Navigation pane opens the Items window. Within the items window, you are able to add, edit or delete item records.

64. 64 Serials Items Window Tab 1 in the lower pane contains item and bibliographic information.

65. 65 Serials Items Window Tab 2 contains general information, which can be altered and updated.

66. 66 Serials Items Window Tab 3 also contains general information, which can be altered and updated.

68. 68 Serials Items Window Tab 5 contains serial levels, which can be altered and updated.

69. 69 Serials Items Window Tab 6 contains holdings links which can be altered and updated.

70. 70 Serials Issue Check-In Serial check-in can be performed in either the Check-In node for single issue handling or via the Group node for simultaneous updating. Both nodes are located under the Control root in the Serials tab of the Navigation pane.

71. 71 Serials Issue Check-In Before you begin to check-in serial issues, you must first locate the subscription to which the issues are attached and display it in the Check-in or Group nodes. We can open a serial record by one of four methods discussed earlier (Serial Bar, Order Bar, Order List or Searching the catalog).

72. 72 Serials Issue Check-In Two check in methods are available: Check-In node: While this method allows you to check in a single issue and perform one of the claiming functions, you must check in the issues in the order they are expected; you cannot skip over an issue. This method also does not allow you to merge (combine) issues. Group node: This method allows you to check in multiple issues and to merge issues when necessary. This method also allows you to skip over an issue when checking in several issues at once. However, claiming functions cannot be performed.

73. 73 Serials Issue Check-In To check in via the Check-In node, highlight the node after retrieving your subscription record.

74. 74 Serials Issue Check-In The check-in form will display.

75. 75 Serials Issue Check-In To arrive, or receive the next issue, click in the upper pane. You are then able to edit any information in tab 2 or 3 in the lower pane. The system will populate the form with information from the subscription and prediction records.

76. 76 Serials Issue Check-In Once you’ve updated or changed information for this record, click

77. 77 Serials Issue Check-In A Serial Activity Log will display your barcode, description, sublibrary and if the check-in was successful.

78. 78 Serials Issue Check-In To check in via the Group node, highlight the node after retrieving your subscription record.

79. 79 Serials Issue Check-In The Group check- in screen displays.

80. 80 Serials Issue Check-In In the upper pane, you can view different groupings of items: All Items Tab: displays one line for all items that share the same enumeration and chronology Sublibrary Groups Tab: displays one line for all items that share the same enumeration, chronology and sublibrary Sublibrary/Collection Groups Tab: displays one line for all items that share the same enumeration, chronology, sublibrary and collection Vendor/Sublibrary Groups Tab: displays one line for all items that share the same enumeration, chronology, vendor and sublibrary Vendor Groups Tab: displays one line for all items that share the same enumeration, chronology and vendor

81. 81 Serials Issue Check-In To check in a single group of items, highlight the specific issue item(s) in one of the three tabs in the upper pane, and click. You may also check in a group of items by highlighting the relevant serial items in the upper pane using the [Ctrl] key and click.

82. 82 Serials Issue Check-In A Check-in list containing the first arrival form pops up. You can update item data if necessary, then click. If a group of items has been selected, you can defer checking in a single item by clicking at which time the next item’s details will display. Clicking cancels the check in function for the selected issue item record(s); items that were checked in before selecting cancel remain checked in.

83. 83 Serials Issue Check-In If changes are made in the Enumeration/Chronology tab (2nd) in the lower pane, all items in the group are updated simultaneously. If you choose to update this tab, you must delete the content of the Description field as the system will repopulate it with updated data.

84. 84 Serials Issue Check-In When additional unexpected issues arrive, to file them correctly, you must create and insert the extra issue into the already-established sequence. In the Group node, highlight the issue that comes right before this unexpected issue in the upper pane, and click.

85. 85 Serials Issue Check-In A new item form displays in the lower pane, with defaults from the high-lighted record. Edit the form to match the piece you have in hand. This may require updating the Enumeration/Chronological field and deleting the description field. Click to register the new item.

86. 86 Serials Issue Check-In When two issues are published together as a “merged” issue, the issue must be checked in using the Group node. Highlight the two issues you wish to merge into one (using the Ctrl key) and click.

87. 87 Serials Issue Check-In Correct the fields in the merged item record displaying in the lower pane to match the issue in hand by changing the Enumeration information. The content of the description field should be deleted to allow the system to re-build it automatically according to the new data.

88. 88 Serials Claims Claims are usually sent to the vendor if an ordered item does not arrive when expected. The first step in sending claims is to run the “Print Claim Report” service (serial-04). This report lists the issues that should be claimed. You can then print a batch of claim letters all at once by using the Print Claim Letters (serial-44) service, or you can use the client to send a claim for a specific issue through the items window.

89. 89 Serials Claims To claim an individual title, after retrieving the serial record, go to the Check In node under the Control root in the Serial tab of the Navigation pane.

90. 90 Serials Claims Click to claim the issue of the serial record.

91. 91 Serials Claims A Claim List window will be opened. Click to register a new claim.

92. 92 Serials Claims The lower pane will become active. Complete the Claim Text field with text you would like to be included in the letter to the vendor. If you are registering a reply from the vendor, enter the reply in Claim Reply, and include the Reply Date. Update the Expected Arrival Date and select the format of the claim using the drop-down menu. Click to register the claim.

93. 93 Serials Claims A claim letter will pop up on the screen if your vendor is set-up to receive printed letters for claims. This is a sample copy of a serial claim letter.

94. 94 Serials Claims To modify a manual claim, again go to the Check-In node, and select the claim option for the item in question. Highlight the claim entry and make modifications in the lower pane. When finished, click.

95. 95 Serials Claims You are also able to view and modify claims by using the Claim node under the Subscription root. This option does not give you the ability to generate new claims.

96. 96 Serials Routing Routing lists can be created for some or all of the subscriptions for a serial title. Routing lists are linked to internal subscriptions, and not items or specific issues within a subscription. When arriving (receiving) an issue, it will be loaned to the first member of the first group in the routing list. A routing list can be created or opened (if it already exists) by clicking on the Routing List node under the Subscriptions root or the Routing Lists root after a subscription record has been selected. It is recommended to use the Routing List node under the Subscriptions root as the list is linked to the internal subscription record.

97. 97 Serials Routing To create a routing list, after retrieving the serial record, go to the Routing List node under the Subscription root in the Serial tab of the Navigation pane.

98. 98 Serials Routing After selecting the Routing List node under the Subscriptions root, the routing list form appears. Click to create a new routing list.

99. 99 Serials Routing The Routing Info tab in the lower pane will become active. Enter the Group Leader’s ID, check the Add as member box if pertinent, and include a budget if desired. If the Loan Serial box is checked, the system will automatically loan the item to the first member of the routing list. Indicate the length of loan per member, the group status and any notes. Click

100. 100 Serials Routing Once the group leader has been entered, add new people to the routing list by clicking on the Member List (2nd) tab in the lower pane.

101. 101 Serials Routing You are also able to manage the routing list members by using the Member List (2nd) tab. You can add, delete or modify members. You can change the order of the list by using the up and down arrow keys. Click after the order is set to commit your changes. You can also highlight a patron and push to circulation to view their record in that module.

102. 102 Serials Routing You are able to manage the routing lists using the upper pane of the routing list form. You can create new or duplicate lists, delete lists or print lists. You can change the order of the lists by using the up and down arrow keys. Click after the order is set to commit your changes.

103. 103 Serials Binding Binding is the process whereby a group of items are ‘bound’ into a single new item (bound volume), and the individual item records are deleted (although still kept in the system as historical items).

104. 104 Serials Binding When you have retrieved the issues that require binding, you will need to locate their item records within ALEPH and update them to reflect that they will no longer exist as separate issues, but rather as a single bound volume. Locate the subscription record for the items, and highlight the Item List node in the Navigation pane.

105. 105 Serials Binding In the items list window, click.

106. 106 Serials Binding The Items List for Binding window displays. Highlight items to be bound and move them to the right side of the window using the. You are not able to select items that have not arrived.

107. 107 Serials Binding Once you’ve selected all the items to be bound into one volume, click.

108. 108 Serials Binding The item form for the new bound item displays. You will need to manually edit this form to match the information for the newly bound volume, such as the enumeration and chronology fields (remember to delete the description field). If you assign barcodes, you will also want to enter a new one in this form. You may also change the Item Process Status to indicate this item is at the bindery. When finished, click.

109. 109 Serials Binding The material type is automatically changed to ISSBD to indicate it is a bound volume. The individual item records are deleted, although they are kept in the system as ‘historical’ items in the All Items History node.
