- Click the radio button next to [2] Overview.
- Look for a UMBC holding, which will appear at the bottom, saying HOL-BC-BC. If one is there, click on it. Read the information that appears in the large window on the right. Note down any information regarding the cataloging of the title, in case we still have to order it. It will say STANDING ORDER if we have a standing order for the title.
- Look at the serial subscriptions by clicking the plus sign above the holdings. Under Serial Subscr, click the plus sign. If a record appears there that does not say No Serial Subscr, we have a subscription.
- Look at the orders by clicking the plus sign next to Orders. If UMBC has an order number beginning with BCCNV (as opposed to BC followed only by numbers), we have a subscription or standing order.
- If you find any of those things, then contact the serials librarian to find out if we should order the volume or not:
- If she says no, we anticipate getting the title(s) on the standing order, send the order(s) back as "Already on Order," and indicate on it that we have a standing order or subscription as appropriate.
- If she says that we should order the volume(s), write on the order: "On Standing Order, but ok to order per JT." or "Subscription, but ok to order per JT." If the holding record of the subscription or standing order indicates that we catalog the title separately, then for our purposes, the order is not an added volume order and you should follow the instructions for the specific type of order at Specific Types of Book Orders. If the holding record of the subscription does notsay anything about cataloging separately, write "Added vol." on the order, and write the system number of that bib record on the order and follow the instructions for the specific type of order at http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/acquisitions/SpecificTypesofBookOrders.phpSpecific Types of Book Orders.
