[LM_NET] Tech Target: Sirs Enduring Issues imported into OPAC

[Anna Brueher <abrueher@LYON.K12.NV.US>]

Dear Wise Ones:

I have started to collect the Sirs Enduring Issues.  I have copied the blurb by 
Omnigraphics on the bottom of this email if you don't know what that is. Last year 
when I received the 2006 information there was a great sheet on how to upload this 
into my cataloging system.  I love that I am able to look in OPAC and pull up 
relevant articles.  The problem is that when these imported they didn't have a call 
number. In fact what they did was import the title with no copies.  I was wondering 
if anyone else has faced this problem and how they fixed it.  There are over 900 
articles.  I don't allow the articles to leave the library.  If a student wants 
one, I copy the relevant article for then and put the original back.  Do I still 
need to barcode each one?  Any help or advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

--------
SIRS Enduring Issues is an eight-volume, 32-topic reference set showcasing the best 
articles published during the preceding year on key issues. Published in a 
convenient loose-leaf format for classroom and library use, Enduring Issues is an 
excellent tool for teaching basic research methodology. The collection fosters 
multidisciplinary classroom discussion and promotes critical thinking on major 
issues. Volume titles are: Business, Global Issues, Human Relations, Environment, 
Health, Family, Science, [and] Institutions. 

Each volume contains 80 carefully selected full-text articles chosen according to 
SIRS' strict criteria with regard to content relevance, reliability, and 
appropriateness to students. SIRS editors scour thousands of magazines, newspapers, 
and web sites to provide the most informative articles on particular topics, with 
background information, insights on how these topics affect our daily lives, and 
varying opinions. Also included are helpful maps, charts, and photos.
All articles are indexed by professionals using Library of Congress subject 
headings to ensure that users get information relevant to their needs.
