Database Maintenance

Discarded (Limited Retention) and Superceded Titles

NOTE: This routine applies to journals kept on the current issue shelves for a specific time before discarding. It does not apply to titles that are discarded without full cataloging.

The Current Periodicals Supervisor will identify issues to be discarded.

Issues will be sent to the Technical Services Database Maintenance Team.

A team member will:

• check the holdings 008 for retention code
• review the issues sent for discard
• remove (or undisplay in serials check-in) current holdings that are past the retention date
