Irony of journal titles Title: ONLINE is print subs. Title: PRINT is online subs ! Journal title: BOOKS …Vol.1(1987)-v.6(1992) Journal title: VOLUME … MKY Vol.6(2005)- Journal title: ISSUE … MKY Issue1(971)-

Difficult situations Titles with print and electronic format Titles with just one volume/no…add ? Journals at more than one branch Gap in collections Collections moved to other location…& then moved back !? Title changes… 2 entries, 2 holdings

Can you ever finish holdings?

Conclusion Correct info on own catalogue Time consuming Expertise needed Holding may change any day: Add new title on OCLC Change title to E-format Cancel title, due to budget limits

Any questions?
