Working with a Summary of Holdings for Serials Titles

You can use Cataloging to maintain a summary of holdings for the serials titles that your library receives. You can have this summary display only the collection and serials media type for each serials copy. You can also add the chronology and enumeration of each serial. You need to set up each copy record that you want to display this information.

Once you have prepared the copy records, the Bibliographic Detail search window displays the serials information:

If your library uses Horizon Serials, the summary of holdings information is generated from Serials Checkin. If you add information through Cataloging, you may create duplicate entries. However, even if you have Serials installed, you can still use summary of holdings in Cataloging in these circumstances:

To add serials holdings information for serials that your library owned before you implemented Serials

To add serials holdings not in Serials Control

To update summary of holdings information generated in Serials

(For more information about using summary of holdings with Serials, see the “Summary of Holdings” chapter in the Serials Guide. For more information on purchasing Serials, contact your Horizon sales representative.)
