Checking In Issues without Prediction Patterns

Because many serials are published or issued in unpredictable patterns, library staff can create copy records without prediction for these serials in Serials Control. In turn, you can check in issues from a nonpredictive copy record in much the same way as you do special or extra issues. You follow these steps each time you check in nonpredicted serial issues.

To check in issues without prediction patterns

1 Search for the serials title you want and send it to Serials Checkin, if necessary.

Horizon displays the Issues window.

2 Click Special.

Horizon displays a list of all run codes for the title and media type in question:

Serials marks those run codes that have had prediction patterns set up.

3 Highlight the run code to which the unpredicted issue should belong.
4 Click OK.

Horizon closes the Choose a Run Code window and opens the Edit Issue (new) window:

5 Enter the necessary information in the appropriate fields.

The Edit Issue (new) window contains generic issue entry fields. (For a detailed explanation of the fields in the Edit Issue [new] window, see the Edit Issue window in Checking In Unexpected Issues .)

6 Save the file.
7 Close the Edit Issue (new) window to check in the issue.

Horizon opens the Issue window with the nonpredicted issue in the list box. You can now choose CKI to check the issue in.
