KENTUCKY UNION LIST OF SERIALS

Reporting options:

While the list below outlines the methods most commonly used to forward serial holdings information to the KULS office, we work to be flexible in this regard. Please let us know if you would like to discuss the possibility of sending in your updates in some other fashion.

1) Email: Most participating libraries send their updates to the KULS office by attaching a Word document containing this information to an email message to Allen Ashman allen.ashman@louisville.edu .

2) Printouts from local systems: Some libraries acquire printouts from their system administrators. These work fine as long as they contain all the required bibliographic information and only those titles that have had holdings changes since the last update. For this reason, this method is often used only by those libraries that are adding their holdings to the KULS for the first time.

3) Direct in-house updating in OCLC: Several libraries in the state have started to process their own union listing records. This can be done by using the browser version of OCLC's Connexion. Separate union listing logon codes are no longer used. Union listing is now done under cataloging authorizations. Online tutorials can be accessed at: OCLC Local Holdings Maintenance Tutorials.
