Searching books with numbering:
- Click on Item search & display icon
- Click inside the Search radio button
- Set the search type to Periodical Title
- Type in title & click OK
- If a Serial record appears, check the MARC Hldgs &/or All Volumes to see
- if we own the volume you want. If not, click further to the right for the Orders tab.
- If no orders appear under the Orders tab, send your order to Acquisitions Services.
- If the same Order ID is repeated, then it is either a subscription or a standing order. If you know the book is published, but we do not have it, contact Dana Taylor in Serials Services.
- If different Order IDs appear under the Orders tab, send your order to Acquisitions Services.
- If no record appears after a periodical search, then search by title to be sure we do not own the exact title or a monographic set.
- If a monographic set appears, follow steps 5-8 above.
- If still no records have appeared, search the series title and browse the series title to see what else has been acquired from the series in the past. If records are found for separate titles of the series, then your title is safe to select in GOBI 2.
- If nothing has been found on any of the steps above, check the Display Authority icon (magnifying glass over a shield) to determine if you may select the title in GOBI 2. Instructions with an example are in the Selectors Toolbox, Ordering/Selecting Procedures: WorkFlows Instructions, Determining Classification: Separate or Collective?
- Only titles classed separately may be selected in GOBI 2. Others must be sent to Acquisitions Services.
