Receiving Issues
There are three options for receiving issues.
Option 1
From the Serials Menu:
- Choose “Manage Subscriptions”
- Go to the “Manage Issues” tab
- If your library has multiple subscriptions, choose the desired subscription
- Select one more more issues to receive
- Choose “Receive selected” from the Actions menu (or by right clicking)
Note: when receiving you may wish to filter by the status “Expected,” especially if there are a lot of issues associated with the title.
- If your library circulates issues of the selected title, be sure to check the box to “Barcode on receive.” If this box is not checked, the issue will be received, but an item will not be created.
Note: “Barcode on receive” is not a “sticky” setting.

Note: “Barcode on receive” is not a “sticky” setting.
