The University Libraries subscribe to over 6,000 serial titles
published in a wide variety of formats such as print, online, microform,
etc. A serial is a publication comprised of successive parts and is
intended to be published indefinitely. Examples of such publications
include newspapers, magazines, journals, books in series, conference
proceedings, transactions, reports, papers of societies, almanacs,
abstracts, annuals, bibliographies.
Serials staff check in and process more than 38,000 serial and periodical
issues, over 33,000 microforms and approximately 10,000 newspapers
annually. Additionally, serials staff shelve new materials in the
Melville (Main) Library’s Central Reading Room, where unbound
journal issues are arranged alphabetically by title. As volumes are
completed, they are commercially bound and sent to the Main Library
Stacks, where they are then shelved by Library of Congress call number.
The Serials Acquisitions & Control Department is the central processing
unit responsible for managing the following for all the University
Libraries (excluding the Health Sciences Center Library) and is responsible
for handling of daily mail, ordering, receiving & processing,
claiming issues not received, preparing invoices for payment, maintaining
fund accounting records.
Requests for new serial standing orders or periodical subscriptions
should not be directed to the Serials Acquisitions & Control Department.
All such requests or suggestions should be directed to the appropriate
subject selector. Problems regarding serial cataloging should be directed to
Brigitte
Howard.
